我有一个看起来像这样的数据框
Name Surname Country Path
John Snow UK /Home/drive/John
BOB Anderson /Home/drive/BOB
Tim David UK /Home/drive/Tim
Wayne Green UK /Home/drive/Wayne
我编写了一个脚本,该脚本首先检查country =="UK"
(如果为true)是否使用R中的"/Home/drive/"
将"/Server/files/"
更改为gsub
。
脚本
Pattern<-"/Home/drive/"
Replacement<- "/Server/files/"
for (i in 1:nrow(gs_catalog_Staging_123))
{
if( gs_catalog_Staging_123$country[i] == "UK" && !is.na(gs_catalog_Staging_123$country[i]))
{
gs_catalog_Staging_123$Path<- gsub(Pattern , Replacement , gs_catalog_Staging_123$Path,ignore.case=T)
}
}
我得到的输出:
Name Surname Country Path
John Snow UK /Server/files/John
*BOB Anderson /Server/files/BOB*
Tim David UK /Server/files/Tim
Wayne Green UK /Server/files/Wayne
我想要的输出
Name Surname Country Path
John Snow UK /Server/files/John
BOB Anderson /Home/drive/BOB
Tim David UK /Server/files/Tim
Wayne Green UK /Server/files/Wayne
我们可以清楚地看到gsub无法识别丢失的值,也无法追加该行。
答案 0 :(得分:2)
许多R函数是矢量化的,因此我们可以在这里避免循环。
# example data
df <- data.frame(
name = c("John", "Bob", "Tim", "Wayne"),
surname = c("Snow", "Ander", "David", "Green"),
country = c("UK", "", "UK", "UK"),
path = paste0("/Home/drive/", c("John", "Bob", "Tim", "Wayne")),
stringsAsFactors = FALSE
)
# fix the path
df$newpath <- ifelse(df$country=="UK" & !is.na(df$country),
gsub("/Home/drive/", "/Server/files/", df$path),
df$path)
# view result
df
name surname country path newpath
1 John Snow UK /Home/drive/John /Server/files/John
2 Bob Ander /Home/drive/Bob /Home/drive/Bob
3 Tim David UK /Home/drive/Tim /Server/files/Tim
4 Wayne Green UK /Home/drive/Wayne /Server/files/Wayne
实际上,这是您的代码存在的问题。每次循环时,您都检查第i
行,但是然后完全替换整个列。解决方法是在您的最后一行代码的适当位置添加[i]
:
gs_catalog_Staging_123$Path[i] <- gsub(Pattern , Replacement , gs_catalog_Staging_123$Path[i] ,ignore.case=T)
