select_spl: select_spl

In mschwenzer/blueprint: A Tool to Auto-Merge Datasets by Rules Specified in a Meta-File

Description

Help function to split a df into two disjunct dfs

Usage

select_spl(df, .dots, odf = "odf")

Arguments

df	A data.frame to split
.dots	A string of variables to select (which has to be conform to inpute epected by select_).
odf	Name of a newly created other df with the variables not matching. Defaulting to 'odf' short for other data.frame.

Details

select_spl splits a data.frame into two, one containing some specified variables and one not containing some variables. Like dplyr::select it returns the df with matching columns but additionally writes the other non-matching columns to a object in the calling environment. This is a potentially destructive function for its sideeffect of creating other.df.

Value

The data.frame with matchin columns.
