Hi Dennis,
No problem.
As I mentioned, I was under the understanding that "electrode1" occurs only in multiples of 3. I think your earlier post sounded like that. May be I was misunderstood. So, my solution was based on that. In the below table, I am not sure, how you wanted to split. For ex. it is not clear, whether rows 1-5 (electrode1) are only in the first list element or should it include the next electrode "electrode2" also? Could you also show the expected output?
dat$Len
# [1] 5 4 5 3 5 6 4 5 4 3 4 6 3 5 3 4 3 12 5 6 4 6 3
as.character(dat$Val)
# [1] "electrode1" "electrode2" "electrode1" "electrode3" "electrode1"
#[6] "electrode4" "electrode2" "electrode1" "electrode2" "electrode3"
#[11] "electrode2" "electrode4" "electrode3" "electrode1" "electrode3"
#[16] "electrode2" "electrode3" "electrode4" "electrode1" "electrode4"
#[21] "electrode2" "electrode4" "electrode3"

Hi Rui & Arun,
really thanks for investing so much time to deal with this problem!
The code works now for this specific example. However it is not
generally robust for slightly different situations. For instance it
cannot correctly handle a slight variation of the table where I have
again 4 types of electrodes of certain lengths. Electrode4 exists only 6
times. At the transition of the combinations 3-4 and 4-1 there are 12
times electrode4 which stick together in the output $`9`. This leads to
wrong splittings thereafter. Sorry for asking such tricky questions.

Just to add:
I assumed that "electrode1" would be found in multiples of 3. I could be wrong.

May be this also helps:
XXX: dataset
rl<-rle(as.character(XXX$electrode))
dat<-do.call(rbind,lapply(seq_along(rl$lengths),function(i){x1<-if(rl$values[i]=="electrode1" & (rl$lengths[i]%/%3>1)) rep(3,rl$lengths[i]%/%3) else rl$lengths[i];data.frame(Len=x1,Val=rl$values[i])}))
lst1<-split(cumsum(dat[,1]),((seq_along(dat[,1])-1)%/%2)+1)
vec1<-sapply(lst1,max)
vec2<-c(1,vec1[-length(vec1)]+1)
res<- lapply(seq_along(lst1),function(i) {x1<-lst1[[i]]; XXX[seq(vec2[i],max(x1)),]})

Didn't test it extensively. So, it may fail in other situations.

Hello,
I think the following does what you want. (I don't know if it makes much
sense but it works.)
lens <- rle(as.character(XXX$electrode))$lengths
m <- length(lens) %/% 2
idx <- rep(1:m, sapply(1:m, function(.m) sum(lens[(2*.m - 1):(2*.m)])))
if(length(lens) %% 2 != 0){
idx <- c(idx, rep(m + 1, lens[length(lens)]))
sp_idx <- split(idx, idx)
n <- length(sp_idx[[m]])
if(n %/% 2 < length(sp_idx[[m + 1]]))
sp_idx[[m]][(n %/% 2 + 1):n] <- sp_idx[[m + 1]][1]
else
sp_idx[[m]][(n - length(sp_idx[[m + 1]]) + 1):n] <- sp_idx[[m + 1]][1]
idx <- unlist(sp_idx)
}
sp <- split(XXX, idx)
sp

> Hi Rui
> once more thank you for your help. But the code does so far not solve the problem because it still treats rows 17-22 (repeated appearance of electrode1) as one single level. However as can be seen by rows 1-3 (or rows 17-19 and rows 20-22) and the order of the length variable (row 1 = 5.7, row 2 = 6.3, row 3 = 6.2) electrode1 consists only of 3 rows. Maybe that was not made absolutely clear by me. As described in my mail before if by chance (or systematically) it happens to be that electrode1 appears right after each other in the table then the code should split it “half way”.
