separate.This is a S3 generic.
separate_(data, col, into, sep = "[^[:alnum:]]+", remove = TRUE,
convert = FALSE, extra = "warn", fill = "warn", ...)A data frame.
Name of column to split, as string.
Names of new variables to create as character vector.
Separator between columns.
If character, is interpreted as a regular expression. The default value is a regular expression that matches any sequence of non-alphanumeric values.
If numeric, interpreted as positions to split at. Positive values start
at 1 at the far-left of the string; negative value start at -1 at the
far-right of the string. The length of sep should be one less than
into.
If TRUE, remove input column from output data frame.
If TRUE, will run type.convert with
as.is = TRUE on new columns. This is useful if the component
columns are integer, numeric or logical.
If sep is a character vector, this controls what
happens when there are too many pieces. There are three valid options:
"warn" (the default): emit a warning and drop extra values.
"drop": drop any extra values without a warning.
"merge": only splits at most length(into) times
If sep is a character vector, this controls what
happens when there are not enough pieces. There are three valid options:
"warn" (the default): emit a warning and fill from the right
"right": fill with missing values on the right
"left": fill with missing values on the left
Defunct, will be removed in the next version of the package.
