Create Multiple Response Variable from Delimited lists

Description

Surveys often record multiple response questions in delimited lists where each respondent's selections are separated by a delimiter like ⁠;⁠ or |. This function breaks the delimited responses into subvariables, uploads those subvariables to Crunch, and finally creates a multiple response variable from them.

Usage

makeMRFromText(
  var,
  delim,
  name,
  selected = "selected",
  not_selected = "not_selected",
  unanswered = NA,
  ...
)

Arguments

var	The variable containing the delimited responses
delim	The delimiter separating the responses
name	The name of the resulting MR variable
selected	A character string used to indicate a selection, defaults to "selected"
not_selected	Character string identifying non-selection, defaults to "not_selected"
unanswered	Character string indicating non-response, defaults to NA.
...	Other arguments to be passed on to makeMR()

a Multiple response variable definition
