[R] PD: ?to calculate sth for groups defined between points in one variable (string), / value separating/ spliting variable into groups by i.e. between start, NA, NA, stop1, start2, NA, stop2

Thu Jun 24 18:02:38 CEST 2010

Same trick :
c0<-rbind( 1,      2 , 3, 4,      5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10,11,
12,13,14,15,16,17     )
c0
c1<-rbind(10,     20 ,30,40,     50,10,60,20,30,40,50,      30,10,
0,NA,20,10.3444)
c1
c2<-rbind(NA,"A",NA,NA,"B",NA,NA,NA,NA,NA,NA,"C",NA,NA,NA,NA,"D")
c2
C.df<-data.frame(c0,c1,c2)
C.df

pos <- which(!is.na(C.df$c2))

idx <- sapply(2:length(pos),function(i) pos[i-1]:(pos[i]-1))
names(idx) <- sapply(2:length(pos),
    function(i) paste(C.df$c2[pos[i-1]],"-",C.df$c2[pos[i]]))


out <- lapply(idx,function(i) summary(C.df[i,1:2]))
out
