Creating variables by splitting the elements of a character vector without needing a split string

Description

Creating variables by splitting the elements of a character vector without needing a split string

Usage

AutoSplit(
  s,
  split = NULL,
  border = "_",
  revBorder = FALSE,
  noSplit = FALSE,
  varNames = paste("var", 1:100, sep = ""),
  tryReverse = TRUE
)

Arguments

s	The character vector
split	Split string. When NULL (default), automatic splitting without a split string.
border	A split character or an integer (move split) to be used when the exact split position is not unique.
revBorder	When border is integer the split position is moved from the other side.
noSplit	No splitting when TRUE.
varNames	Variable names of the created variables (too many is ok)
tryReverse	When TRUE, the automatic method tries to find more variables by splitting from reversed strings.

Value

A data frame with s as row names.

s <- c("A12-3-A-x","A12-3-B-x","B12-3-A-x","B12-3-B-x",
       "A12-3-A-y","A12-3-B-y","B12-3-A-y","B12-3-B-y")
AutoSplit(s)
AutoSplit(s,border="-")
AutoSplit(s,split="-")
AutoSplit(s,border=1)
AutoSplit(s,border=2)
AutoSplit(s,border=2,revBorder=TRUE)
AutoSplit(s,noSplit=TRUE)
AutoSplit(s,varNames=c("A","B","C","D"))
