Columns with Multiple Inputs

Get all arguments in a selected column that have multiple arguments with find_column_multi(). The output will be a character type of arguments length. This can then can be used in find_column_multi_input() function to get the value of the input as a list object. If you are only interested in a specific argument among these arguments in the column, then use find_column_multi_input_arg() function. See example.

Usage

find_column_multi(spec = NULL, col = NULL, sep = c(",", "|", ":", ";", "&"))

find_column_multi_input(input = NULL)

find_column_multi_input_arg(input = NULL, arg = NULL)

Arguments

spec

col

input

Input argument(s) as a character vector

arg

• find_column_multi gives a character vector of the arguments that is separated with sep argument

• find_column_multi_input gives a list of argument names and their values

• find_column_multi_input_arg gives a single object with value from the selected argument
