There's text data like this



※ 19:20 AAAA (BBB:CCC) --DDDD aaaa 33.1 bbbb 23.8 cccc 20.9 ddddd 14.9 eeeee 8.3 ffffff 6.8 gggggg 4.5 hhhhhh 4.2 --EEEE aaaaa 11.8


or there's HTML File like this



<div style='AAAA'>
※ 19:20 AAAA (BB:CC)<br /><br /><br /><br />--DDDD<br />aaaa 33.1 bbbb 23.8 cccc 20.9<br /><br /><br />--EEEE<br />aaaaa 11.8


What I want to make in Dataframe is



Time Type1 Type2 Data1 Data2
19:20 AAAAA DDDD aaaa 33.1
19:20 AAAAA DDDD bbbb 23.8
19:20 AAAAA EEEE aaaaa 11.8


How can I make it?

  • Is all the data on one line? Will there be any spaces in the real data where you put AAAA DDDD EEEE aaaa bbbb placeholders?

  • @hrbrmstr Yes. I used text<-gsub(pattern = '<.*?>', replacement = ' ', html_nodes(read_html(file_name, encoding='EUC-KR'), "div")) to read this html. For your help, I added the real html files to read.

1) First remove everything within parens including the parens giving txt2. Then split what is left at -- separators and flatten it giving txt3. Then scan in the words separately for each element giving s and convert that to matrix m and data frame DF. Finally convert the types of the columns. No packages are used.



txt2 <- gsub("[(].*?[)]", "", txt)
txt3 <- unlist(strsplit(txt2, "--"))
s <- lapply(txt3, function(x) scan(text = x, what = "", quiet = TRUE))
m <- cbind(s[[1]][1], s[[1]][2], do.call("rbind", lapply(s[-1],
function(x) cbind(x[1], matrix(x[-1],,2, byrow = TRUE)))))
DF <- as.data.frame(m, stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
DF <- lapply(DF, type.convert, stringsAsFactors = FALSE)


giving:



> DF
V1 V2 V3 V4 V5
1 19:20 AAAA DDDD aaaa 33.1
2 19:20 AAAA DDDD bbbb 23.8
3 19:20 AAAA DDDD cccc 20.9
4 19:20 AAAA DDDD ddddd 14.9
5 19:20 AAAA DDDD eeeee 8.3
6 19:20 AAAA DDDD ffffff 6.8
7 19:20 AAAA DDDD gggggg 4.5
8 19:20 AAAA DDDD hhhhhh 4.2
9 19:20 AAAA EEEE aaaaa 11.8


2) If we can assume that only the fifth column is numeric then we can use this simpler alternate approach. First remove the parens and everything inside them as above and then scan in the words into s. Locate the positions ix of the words containing only digits and dot and then pick out each field assembling them into a data.frame.



txt2 <- gsub("[(].*?[)]", "", txt)
s <- scan(text = txt2, what = "", quiet = TRUE)
ix <- grep("^[0-9.]+$", s)
data.frame(
V1 = s[1],
V2 = s[2],
V3 = sub("--", "", s[sapply(ix-2, function(i) tail(grep("--", s[seq(i)]), 1))]),
V4 = s[ix-1],
V5 = as.numeric(s[ix]),
stringsAsFactors = FALSE
)


Note



The input is assumed to be:



txt <- "19:20 AAAA (BBB:CCC) --DDDD aaaa 33.1 bbbb 23.8 cccc 20.9 ddddd 14.9 eeeee 8.3 ffffff 6.8 gggggg 4.5 hhhhhh 4.2 --EEEE aaaaa 11.8"
