split_to_df: Split a Vector of Strings Following a Regular Structure

Description

This function takes a vector of strings following a regular structure, and converts that vector into a data.frame, split on that delimiter. A nice wrapper to strsplit, essentially - the primary bonus is the automatic coersion to a data.frame.

Usage

split_to_df(x, sep, fixed = FALSE, perl = TRUE,
    useBytes = FALSE, names = NULL)

Arguments

x
a vector of strings.
sep
the delimiter / regex you wish to split your strings on.
fixed
logical. If TRUE, we match sep exactly; otherwise, we use regular expressions. Has priority over perl.
perl
logical. Should perl-compatible regexps be used?
useBytes
logical. If TRUE, matching is done byte-by-byte rather than character-by-character.
names
optional: a vector of names to pass to the returned data.frame.
