在 R 中用 subset/grepl 查找 table

Lookup table with subset/grepl in R

我正在分析使用抓取工具提取的一组网址和值。虽然我可以从 URL 中提取子字符串,但我真的不想用正则表达式来做这件事——有没有一种简单的方法可以使用 subset/grepl 进行查找 table 式替换不求助于 dplyr(对变量进行条件变异)?

我目前的进程:

test <- data.frame(
  url = c('google.com/testing/duck', 'google.com/evaluating/dog', 'google.com/analyzing/cat'),
  content = c(1, 2, 3),
  subdir = NA
)

test[grepl('testing', test$url), ]$subdir <- 'testing'
test[grepl('evaluating', test$url), ]$subdir <- 'evaluating'
test[grepl('analyzing', test$url), ]$subdir <- 'analyzing'

显然,这有点笨拙并且不能很好地扩展。使用 dplyr,我可以用条件语句做一些事情,比如:

test %<>% tbl_df() %>% 
  mutate(subdir = ifelse(
    grepl('testing', subdir), 
    'test r', 
    ifelse(
      grepl('evaluating', subdir), 
      'eval r', 
      ifelse(
        grepl('analyzing', subdir), 
        'anal r', 
        NA
      ))))

但是,再一次,真的很愚蠢,我不想尽可能地产生包依赖性。有什么方法可以通过某种查找来进行基于正则表达式的子集设置 table?

编辑: 一些说明:

  1. 对于提取子目录,是的,正则表达式最有效;但是,我希望有一个更通用的模式,可以将类似字典的字符串结构与其他任意值匹配。
  2. 当然,嵌套的 ifelse 很难看并且容易出错——只是想得到一个 dplyr 向上的简单示例。

编辑 2: 我想回过头来 post 我根据 BondedDust 的方法得到的结果。决定练习一些映射和非标准评估:

test <- data.frame(
  url = c(
    'google.com/testing/duck',
    'google.com/testing/dog',
    'google.com/testing/cat',
    'google.com/evaluating/duck', 
    'google.com/evaluating/dog', 
    'google.com/evaluating/cat', 
    'google.com/analyzing/duck',
    'google.com/analyzing/dog',
    'google.com/analyzing/cat',
    'banana'
  ),
  content = c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10),
  subdir = NA
)

# List used for key/value lookup, names can be regex
lookup <- c(
  "testing" = "Testing is important",
  "Eval.*" = 'eval in R',
  "analy(z|s)ing" = 'R is fun'
)

# Dumb test for error handling:
# lookup <- c('test', 'hey')

# Defining new lookup function
regexLookup <- function(data, dict, searchColumn, targetColumn, ignore.case = TRUE){
  # Basic check—need to separate errors/handling
  if(is.null(names(dict)) || is.null(dict[[1]])) {
    stop("Not a valid replacement value; use a key/value store for `dict`.")
  }

  # Non-standard eval for the column names; not sure if I should
  # add safetytype/checks for these
  searchColumn <- eval(substitute(searchColumn), data)
  targetColumn <- deparse(substitute(targetColumn))

  # Define find-and-replace utility
  findAndReplace <- function (key, val){
    data[grepl(key, searchColumn, ignore.case = ignore.case), targetColumn] <- val
    data <<- data
  }

  # Map over the key/value store
  mapply(findAndReplace, names(dict), dict)

  # Return result, with non-matching rows preserved
  return(data)
}

regexLookup(test, lookup, url, subdir, ignore.case = FALSE)
 for (target in  c('testing','evaluating','analyzing') ) {
                    test[grepl(target, test$url),'subdir' ] <- target }

 test
                        url content     subdir
1   google.com/testing/duck       1    testing
2 google.com/evaluating/dog       2 evaluating
3  google.com/analyzing/cat       3  analyzing

目标矢量可以改为工作区中矢量的名称。

targets <-   c('testing','evaluating','analyzing') 
for( target in targets ) { ...}

试试这个:

test$subdir<-gsub('.*\/(.*)\/.*','\1',test$url)
