parse_meta_strings: Split up strings in meta table

In the-Hull/ROAR: Reproducible and Organized Assimilation Routines

Description

For multi-column data adjustments/details, e.g. definition of time stamp columns, a meta string can be provided in a single column of the meta table (e.g. time_stamp_columns), preventing the meta table from cluttering. This is can be leveraged for in templates to construct objects from meta strings. A meta string can be set to either NA, a single value ("string") or a multi-column string ("string1/string2/string3/string with space4"). This function splits these strings, and allows e.g. pasting multiple columns together.

Usage

parse_meta_strings(string)

string
