Alternative pivoting method for easily pivoting based on name pattern

This function requires and assumes a systematic naming of variables. For now only supports one level pivoting. Adding more levels would require an added "ignore" string pattern or similarly. Example 2.

Usage

wide2long(
  data,
  pattern,
  type = c("prefix", "infix", "suffix"),
  id.col = 1,
  instance.name = "instance"
)

Arguments

  • data:

    data

  • pattern:

    pattern(s) to match. Character vector of length 1 or more.

  • type:

    type of match. can be one of "prefix","infix" or "suffix".

  • id.col:

    ID column. Will fill ID for all. Column name or numeric index. Default is "1", first column.

  • instance.name:

Value

data.frame

  1:20, sample(70:80, 20, TRUE),
  sample(70:100, 20, TRUE),
