如何基于正则表达式在dplyr中分隔列

Question

我有以下数据框:

df <- structure(list(X2 = c("BB_137.HVMSC", "BB_138.combined.HVMSC", 
"BB_139.combined.HVMSC", "BB_140.combined.HVMSC", "BB_141.HVMSC", 
"BB_142.combined.HMSC-bm")), .Names = "X2", row.names = c(NA, 
-6L), class = c("tbl_df", "tbl", "data.frame"))

看起来像这样

> df
# A tibble: 6 x 1
                       X2
                    <chr>
1            BB_137.HVMSC
2   BB_138.combined.HVMSC
3   BB_139.combined.HVMSC
4   BB_140.combined.HVMSC
5            BB_141.HVMSC
6 BB_142.combined.HMSC-bm

我想要做的是.将最后一个字段保留为第二列,分成两列(作为分隔符)

              col1 col2
            BB_137 HVMSC
   BB_138.combined HVMSC
   BB_139.combined HVMSC
   BB_140.combined HVMSC
            BB_141 HVMSC
   BB_142.combined HMSC-bm

什么是正确的方法呢？

我的尝试是这样的:

> df %>% separate(X2, into = c("sid","status", "tiss"), sep = "[.]") 
# A tibble: 6 x 3
     sid   status    tiss
*  <chr>    <chr>   <chr>
1 BB_137    HVMSC    <NA>
2 BB_138 combined   HVMSC
3 BB_139 combined   HVMSC
4 BB_140 combined   HVMSC
5 BB_141    HVMSC    <NA>
6 BB_142 combined HMSC-bm

警告消息:2个位置的值太少:1,5

Answer 1

我们可以在单独的函数中使用负向前瞻作为分隔符.

library(tidyr)
separate(data = df, col = X2, into = c("col1", "col2"), sep = "(\\.)(?!.*\\.)")

#            col1    col2
#           <chr>   <chr>
#1          BB_137   HVMSC
#2 BB_138.combined   HVMSC
#3 BB_139.combined   HVMSC
#4 BB_140.combined   HVMSC
#5          BB_141   HVMSC
#6 BB_142.combined HMSC-bm

正则表达式取自这个答案.
