Using strsplit() with Multiple Delimiters in R

Steven Sanderson shows off some more complex string splitting scenarios in R:

In data preprocessing and text manipulation tasks, the strsplit() function in R is incredibly useful for splitting strings based on specific delimiters. However, what if you need to split a string using multiple delimiters? This is where strsplit() can really shine by allowing you to specify a regular expression that defines these delimiters. In this blog post, we’ll dive into how you can use strsplit() effectively with multiple delimiters to parse strings in your data.

Read on for two examples of complex scenarios.
