[R] Splitting vector elements

[arun]

Hi Katherine,

#or you can use:
read.table(text=dat,sep="",header=FALSE,stringsAsFactors=FALSE)
#   V1 V2
#1 ABC  1
#2 ABC  2
#3 ABC  3
#4 DEF 10
#5 DEF 20
A.K.

Hi Katherin,
the following code does the trick:

x <- strsplit(dat," ")
df <- data.frame(p1=sapply(x, function(x) x[1]), p2 = sapply(x,
function(x) x[2]))

Hope it helps,
Luca
