concat.split.compact: Split Concatenated Cells into a Condensed Format
In splitstackshape: Stack and Reshape Datasets After Splitting Concatenated Values

Description Usage Arguments Value Note Author(s) See Also Examples

The default splitting method for concat.split. Formerly based on read.concat() but presently a simple wrapper around cSplit().

1 2	concat.split.compact(data, split.col, sep = ",", drop = FALSE, fixed = TRUE, ...)

`data`	The input `data.frame` or `data.table`.
`split.col`	The column that need to be split.
`sep`	The character separating each value.
`drop`	Logical. Should the original variable be dropped? Defaults to `FALSE`.
`fixed`	Logical. Should the split character be treated as a fixed pattern (`TRUE`) or a regular expression (`FALSE`)? Defaults to `TRUE`.
`...`	optional arguments to pass to `cSplit`.

A data.table.

THIS FUNCTION IS DEPRECATED AND WILL BE REMOVED FROM LATER VERSIONS OF "SPLITSTACKSHAPE". It no longer does anything different from cSplit(). It is recommended that you transition your code to the cSplit function instead.
