有没有人有任何想法将以下数据以适当的形式导入到R中?我尝试了strsplit函数,如下所示:test <- strsplit(test,"[[:space:]]+")其中test是包含以下杂乱数据的文件的名称。不知何故,我最终只有一个字符变量。我想以适当的形式有八个不同的变量。你可以帮我吗?使用R导入凌乱的数据

Black Eagles 01/12 - 12/11 1500 W 7.0 420 48 Away +3 
Blue State 02/18 - 04/21 1293 L 8.0 490 48 Home +1 
Hawks 01/13 - 02/17 1028 L 4.0 46 460 Away 
New Apple 09/23 - 11/23 563 L 3.0 470 47 Home +2 
Black White 07/05 - 09/26 713 L 5.2 500 45 Home +4 
PBO 10/24 - 10/30 1495 L 1.9 47 410 Away 
+1

在哪里,这些数据从何而来?原始文件中是否有可用的制表符分隔符? – mnel

是的,在变量的两个名称之间的每个变量和空格之间都有制表符分隔符。这些只是团队统计数据,每一列应该代表一个变量(9个变量)。我无法弄清楚,因为这个数据集包含字符串,数字和日期变量。任何帮助将不胜感激。 –

然后使用'read.table(thedatafile,sep ='\ t')'。你可以发布'dput(test)'的结果(在你重新分配strsplit之前),我可以发布一个有用的答案。 – mnel

这是怎么回事?

这里是用来获取上表中的代码:

library(stringr) 

# Open Connection to file 
pathToFile <- path.expand("~/path/to/file/myfile.txt") 
f <- file(pathToFile, "rb") 

# Read in lines 
rawText <- readLines(f) 


# Find the dahses 
dsh <- str_locate_all(rawText, " - ") 

# Splice, using the dashes as a guide 
lng <- length(rawText) 
spliced <- sapply(1:lng, function(i) 
    spliceOnDash(rawText[[i]], dsh[[c(i, 1)]], dsh[[c(i, 2)]]) 
) 

# make it purtty 
nicelyFormatted <- formatNicely(spliced) 
nicelyFormatted 


#-------------------# 
# FUNCTIONS  # 
#-------------------# 


spliceOnDash <- function(strn, start, end) { 

    # split around the date 
    pre <- substr(strn, 1, start-6) 
    dates <- substr(strn, start-5, end+5) 
    post <- substr(strn, end+6, str_length(strn)) 

    # Clean up 
    pre <- str_trim(pre) 

    # replace all double spaces with single spaces 
    while(str_detect(post, " ")) { 
    post <- str_replace_all(str_trim(post), " ", " ")  
    } 

    # splice on space 
    post <- str_split(post, " ") 

    # if dates are one field, remove this next line 
    dates <- str_split(dates, " - ") 

    # return 
    c(unlist(pre), unlist(dates), unlist(post)) 
} 

# Function to clean up the list into a nice table 
formatNicely <- function(spliced) { 
    lngst <- max(sapply(spliced, length)) 
    t(sapply(spliced, function(x) 
     if(length(x) < lngst) c(x, rep(NA, lngst-length(x))) else x)) 
}

太棒了!谢谢大家,特别是RS。 –
