scan
您可以使用grep
和函数读取数据并sub
提取重要值。
文本:
text <- "name:russel date:21-2-1991
abc,2,saa
anan,3,ds
ama,ds,az
,,
name:rus date:23-3-1998
snans,32,asa
asa,2,saz"
这些命令生成带有名称和日期值的数据框。
# read the text
lines <- scan(text = text, what = character())
# find strings staring with 'name' or 'date'
nameDate <- grep("^name|^date", lines, value = TRUE)
# extract the values
values <- sub("^name:|^date:", "", nameDate)
# create a data frame
dat <- as.data.frame(matrix(values, ncol = 2, byrow = TRUE,
dimnames = list(NULL, c("name", "date"))))
结果:
> dat
name date
1 russel 21-2-1991
2 rus 23-3-1998
更新
要从不包含名称和日期信息的字符串中提取值,可以使用以下命令:
# read data
lines <- readLines(textConnection(text))
# split lines
splitted <- strsplit(lines, ",")
# find positions of 'name' lines
idx <- grep("^name", lines)[-1]
# create grouping variable
grp <- cut(seq_along(lines), c(0, idx, length(lines)))
# extract values
values <- tapply(splitted, grp, FUN = function(x)
lapply(x, function(y)
if (length(y) == 3) y))
create a list of data frames
dat <- lapply(values, function(x) as.data.frame(matrix(unlist(x),
ncol = 3, byrow = TRUE)))
结果:
> dat
$`(0,7]`
V1 V2 V3

3 ama ds az
$`(7,9]`
