I have already loaded the data in R from various sheets, below you can see the names of the sheets. Below you can see the data and code:
df<-data.frame(
Tables=c("Export_A1.xlsx","Export_A2.xlsx","Export_A10.xlsx"))
So now I want to extract specific names, or in other words, I want to remove the text "Export_" and ".xlsx". Below you can see an example
So can anybody help me how to solve this problem ?
You can use the following code:
df$Tables <- gsub(".*[_]([^.]+)[.].*", "\\1", df$Tables)
df
Output:
Tables
1 A1
2 A2
3 A10

I am trying to extract only the zip code values from my imported ACS data file, however, the rows all include "ZCTA" before the 5 digit zip code. Is there a way to remove that so just the 5 digit zip code remains?
Example:
I tried using strtrim on the data but I can't figure out how to target the last 5 digits. I image there is a function or loop that could also do this since the dataset is so large.
To remove "ZCTA5":
gsub("ZCTA5", "", df$zip) # df - your data.frame name
or
library(stringr)
str_replace(df$zip,"ZCTA5","")
To extract ZIP CODE:
str_sub(df$zip,-5,-1)
Here is a few others for fun:
#option 1
stringr::str_extract(df$zip, "(?<=\\s)\\d+$")
#option 2
gsub("^.*\\s(\\d+)$", "\\1", df$zip)
I have excel file that contains numeric variables, but the first column (index column) uses custom formatting: those are numbers that should be presented as text (or similar to text) and having always fixed number of digits where some are zeroes. Here is my example table from excel:
And here is formatting for bad_col1 (rest are numbers or general):
When I try to import my data by using read.xlsx function from either openxlsx or xlsx package it produces something like this:
read.xlsx(file_dir,sheet=1)#for openxlsx
bad_col1 col2 col3
1 5 11 974
2 230 15 719
3 10250 6 944
4 2340 7 401
So as you can see, zeroes are gone. Is there any way to read 1st column as "text" and as other numeric? I can not convert it to text after, because "front zeroes" are gone arleady. I can think of workaround, but it would be more feasible for my project to have them converted while importing.
Thank you in Advance
You can use a vector to filter your desired format, with library readxl:
library(readxl)
filter <- c('text','numeric','numeric')
the_file <- read_xlsx("sample.xlsx", col_types = filter)
Even more, you can skip columns if you use in your filter 'skip' in the desired position, considering that you might have many columns.
Regards
With this https://readxl.tidyverse.org/reference/read_excel.html you can use paramater col_types so that first column is read as character.
I have a large data set in which I have to search for specific codes depending on what i want. For example, chemotherapy is coded by ~40 codes, that can appear in any of 40 columns called (diag1, diag2, etc).
I am in the process of writing a function that produces plots depending on what I want to show. I thought it would be good to specify what I want to plot in a input data frame. Thus, for example, in case I only want to plot chemotherapy events for patients, I would have a data frame like this:
Dataframe name: Style
Name SearchIn codes PlotAs PlotColour
Chemo data[substr(names(data),1,4)=="diag"] 1,2,3,4,5,6 | red
I already have a function that searches for codes in specific parts of the data frame and flags the events of interest. What i cannot do, and need your help with, is referring to a data frame (Style$SearchIn[1]) using codes in a data frame as above.
> Style$SearchIn[1]
[1] data[substr(names(data),1,4)=="diag"]
Levels: data[substr(names(data),1,4)=="diag"]
I thought perhaps get() would work, but I cant get it to work:
> get(Style$SearchIn[1])
Error in get(vars$SearchIn[1]) : invalid first argument
enter code here
or
> get(as.character(Style$SearchIn[1]))
Error in get(as.character(Style$SearchIn[1])) :
object 'data[substr(names(data),1,5)=="TDIAG"]' not found
Obviously, running data[substr(names(data),1,5)=="TDIAG"] works.
Example:
library(survival)
ex <- data.frame(SearchIn="lung[substr(names(lung),1,2) == 'ph']")
lung[substr(names(lung),1,2) == 'ph'] #works
get(ex$SearchIn[1]) # does not work
It is not a good idea to store R code in strings and then try to eval them when needed; there are nearly always better solutions for dynamic logic, such as lambdas.
I would recommend using a list to store the plot specification, rather than a data.frame. This would allow you to include a function as one of the list's components which could take the input data and return a subset of it for plotting.
For example:
library(survival);
plotFromSpec <- function(data,spec) {
filteredData <- spec$filter(data);
## ... draw a plot from filteredData and other stuff in spec ...
};
spec <- list(
Name='Chemo',
filter=function(data) data[,substr(names(data),1,2)=='ph'],
Codes=c(1,2,3,4,5,6),
PlotAs='|',
PlotColour='red'
);
plotFromSpec(lung,spec);
If you want to store multiple specifications, you could create a list of lists.
Have you tried using quote()
I'm not entirely sure what you want but maybe you could store the things you're trying to get() like
quote(data[substr(names(data),1,4)=="diag"])
and then use eval()
eval(quote(data[substr(names(data),1,4)=="diag"]), list(data=data))
For example,
dat <- data.frame("diag1"=1:10, "diag2"=1:10, "other"=1:10)
Style <- list(SearchIn=c(quote(data[substr(names(data),1,4)=="diag"]), quote("Other stuff")))
> head(eval(Style$SearchIn[[1]], list(data=dat)))
diag1 diag2
1 1 1
2 2 2
3 3 3
4 4 4
5 5 5
6 6 6
I am completely new to R. I tried reading the reference and a couple of good introductions, but I am still quite confused.
I am hoping to do the following:
I have produced a .txt file that looks like the following:
area,energy
1.41155882174e-05,1.0914586287e-11
1.46893363946e-05,5.25011714434e-11
1.39244046855e-05,1.57904991488e-10
1.64155121046e-05,9.0815757601e-12
1.85202830392e-05,8.3207522281e-11
1.5256036289e-05,4.24756620609e-10
1.82107587343e-05,0.0
I have the following command to read the file in R:
tbl <- read.csv("foo.txt",header=TRUE).
producing:
> tbl
area energy
1 1.411559e-05 1.091459e-11
2 1.468934e-05 5.250117e-11
3 1.392440e-05 1.579050e-10
4 1.641551e-05 9.081576e-12
5 1.852028e-05 8.320752e-11
6 1.525604e-05 4.247566e-10
7 1.821076e-05 0.000000e+00
Now I want to store each column in two different vectors, respectively area and energy.
I tried:
area <- c(tbl$first)
energy <- c(tbl$second)
but it does not seem to work.
I need to different vectors (which must include only the numerical data of each column) in order to do so:
> prob(energy, given = area), i.e. the conditional probability P(energy|area).
And then plot it. Can you help me please?
As #Ananda Mahto alluded to, the problem is in the way you are referring to columns.
To 'get' a column of a data frame in R, you have several options:
DataFrameName$ColumnName
DataFrameName[,ColumnNumber]
DataFrameName[["ColumnName"]]
So to get area, you would do:
tbl$area #or
tbl[,1] #or
tbl[["area"]]
With the first option generally being preferred (from what I've seen).
Incidentally, for your 'end goal', you don't need to do any of this:
with(tbl, prob(energy, given = area))
does the trick.
I am new to R and my question should be trivial. I need to create a word cloud from a txt file containing the words and their occurrence number. For that purposes I am using the snippets package.
As it can be seen at the bottom of the link, first I have to create a vector (is that right that words is a vector?) like bellow.
> words <- c(apple=10, pie=14, orange=5, fruit=4)
My problem is to do the same thing but create the vector from a file which would contain words and their occurrence number. I would be very happy if you could give me some hints.
Moreover, to understand the format of the file to be inserted I write the vector words to a file.
> write(words, file="words.txt")
However, the file words.txt contains only the values but not the names(apple, pie etc.).
$ cat words.txt
10 14 5 4
Thanks.
words is a named vector, the distinction is important in the context of the cloud() function if I read the help correctly.
Write the data out correctly to a file:
write.table(words, file = "words.txt")
Create your word occurrence file like the txt file created. When you read it back in to R, you need to do a little manipulation:
> newWords <- read.table("words.txt", header = TRUE)
> newWords
x
apple 10
pie 14
orange 5
fruit 4
> words <- newWords[,1]
> names(words) <- rownames(newWords)
> words
apple pie orange fruit
10 14 5 4
What we are doing here is reading the file into newWords, the subsetting it to take the one and only column (variable), which we store in words. The last step is to take the row names from the file read in and apply them as the "names" on the words vector. We do the last step using the names() function.
Yes, 'vector' is the proper term.
EDIT:
A better method than write.table would be to use save() and load():
save(words. file="svwrd.rda")
load(file="svwrd.rda")
The save/load combo preserved all the structure rather than doing coercion. The write.table followed by names()<- is kind of a hassle as you can see in both Gavin's answer here and my answer on rhelp.
Initial answer:
Suggest you use as.data.frame to coerce to a dataframe an then write.table() to write to a file.
write.table(as.data.frame(words), file="savew.txt")
saved <- read.table(file="savew.txt")
saved
words
apple 10
pie 14
orange 5
fruit 4
