queer data set
I have a dataset that is basically structureless. Its dimension varies from row to row and sep(s) are a mixture of tab and semi colon (;) and example is HEADER1 HEADER2 HEADER3 HEADER3 A1 B1 C1 X11;X12;X13 A2 B2 C2 X21;X22;X23;X24;X25 A3 B3 C3 A4 B4 C4 X41;X42;X43 A5 B5 C5 X51 etc., say. Note that a blank under HEADER3 corresponds to non occurance and all semi colon (;) delimited variables are under HEADER3. These values run into tens of thousands. I want to give some order to this queer matrix to something like: HEADER1 HEADER2 HEADER3 HEADER3 A1 B1 C1 X11 A1 B1 C1 X12 A1 B1 C1 X13 A1 B1 C1 X14 A2 B2 C2 X21 A2 B2 C2 X22 A2 B2 C2 X23 A2 B2 C2 X24 A2 B2 C2 X25 A2 B2 C2 X26 A3 B3 C3 NA A4 B4 C4 X41 A4 B4 C4 X42 A4 B4 C4 X43 Is there a brilliant R-way of doing such task?

Dear R-Helper,
(There are quite a few of us.)
I want to know how I get a list work which I saved in RData
file. For
example,
I don't understand that at all, but it looks as if you want to save an unevaluated call, in which case see ?quote and use something like xyadd <- quote(test.xy(x=2, y=3)) load and saving has nothing to do with this: it doesn't change the meaning of objects in the workspace.
test.xy <- function(x,y) {
+ xy <- x+y + xy + }
xyadd <- test.xy(x=2, y=3) xyadd
[1] 5
x1 <- c(2,43,60,8) y1 <- c(91,7,5,30) xyadd1 <- test.xy(x=x1, y=y1) xyadd1
[1] 93 50 65 38
save(list = ls(all=TRUE), file = "testxy.RData")
rm(list=ls(all=TRUE))
load("C:/R/useR/testxy.RData")
ls()
[1] "test.xy" "x1" "xyadd" "xyadd1" "y1"
ls.str(pat="xyadd")
xyadd : num 5 xyadd1 : num [1:4] 93 50 65 38
When I run, I know the result like above
xyadd
[1] 5
xyadd1
[1] 93 50 65 38
what I want to know, is there any function to make the result like:
xyadd
test.xy(x=2, y=3)
and
xyadd1
test.xy(x=x1, y=y1)
