将 strsplit 的结果分配给数据框的多列

Assigning results of strsplit to multiple columns of data frame

我正在尝试在一个数据框中将一个字符向量拆分为三个不同的向量。

我的数据是这样的:

> df <- data.frame(filename = c("Author1 (2010) Title of paper", 
                                "Author2 et al (2009) Title of paper",
                                "Author3 & Author4 (2004) Title of paper"),
                   stringsAsFactors = FALSE)

我想将这 3 条信息 (authorsyeartitle) 分成三个不同的列,这样它将是:

> df
                          filename             author  year   title
 1           Author1 (2010) Title1            Author1  2010  Title1
 2     Author2 et al (2009) Title2      Author2 et al  2009  Title2
 3 Author3 & Author4 (2004) Title3  Author3 & Author4  2004  Title3

我已经使用 strsplit 将每个 filename 拆分为一个包含 3 个元素的向量:

 df$temp <- strsplit(df$filename, " \(|\) ")

但是现在,我找不到将每个元素放在单独的列中的方法。我可以访问这样的特定信息:

> df$temp[[2]][1]
[1] "Author2 et al"

但找不到如何将其放入其他列

> df$author <- df$temp[[]][1]
Error

您可以尝试 tstrsplit 开发版 data.table

library(data.table)#v1.9.5+
 setDT(df)[, c('author', 'year', 'title') :=tstrsplit(filename, ' \(|\) ')]
df
#                                  filename             author year
#1:           Author1 (2010) Title of paper           Author1  2010
#2:     Author2 et al (2009) Title of paper     Author2 et al  2009
#3: Author3 & Author4 (2004) Title of paper Author3 & Author4  2004
#             title
#1:  Title of paper
#2:  Title of paper
#3:  Title of paper

编辑:包括 OP 的拆分模式以删除空格。

result <- cbind(df, do.call("rbind", strsplit(df$filename, " \(|\) ")))
colnames(result)[2:4] <- c("author", "year", "title")

使用 tidyr 包,这里有一个 separate 解决方案:

separate(df, "filename", c("Author","Year","Title"), sep=" \(|\) "), remove=F)
#                                  filename            Author
# 1           Author1 (2010) Title of paper           Author1
# 2     Author2 et al (2009) Title of paper     Author2 et al
# 3 Author3 & Author4 (2004) Title of paper Author3 & Author4
#   Year          Title
# 1 2010 Title of paper
# 2 2009 Title of paper
# 3 2004 Title of paper

已考虑前导和尾随空格

数据帧有一个基础t方法(转置):

 res <- t( data.frame(  strsplit(df$filename, " \(|\) ") ))
 colnames(res) <- c("author", "year", "title")
 rownames(res) <- seq_along(rownames(res) )
 res
#--------------
  author              year   title           
1 "Author1"           "2010" "Title of paper"
2 "Author2 et al"     "2009" "Title of paper"
3 "Author3 & Author4" "2004" "Title of paper"
