[R] Loop over a split string

[Paul Hiemstra]

 Hi Joel,

This looks so much like homework I would give studens that I'm not
surprised Uwe jumped to conclusions...

ontopic:
You did not specify your earlier attempts, just that they failed. This
makes it hard for us to judge what went wrong. Using strsplit I would do:

string<-"a b c d e f"
# The important bit is the subset ([[1]])
# strsplit can work on a vector of strings
# so just splitting on string requires this step
splitted <- strsplit(string, ' ')[[1]]
for(entry in splitted) print(entry)

cheers,
Paul
