separate_var(data, var, by, names, into = c("cols", "rows"))

`data`	dataset
`var`	name of variable to be separated
`by`	a string as delimiter between values (separate by delimiter) or integer(s) as number of characters to split by (separate by position), the length of `by` should be `1` unless `by` is integer and `into = "cols"`; if `by` is a non-integer numeric vector its values will be rounded down to the nearest integer
`names`	for `into = "cols"`, a character vector of output column names; use `NA` if there are components that you don't want to appear in the output; the number of non-`NA` elements determines the number of new columns in the result
`into`	whether to split into new rows or columns
