Split delimited single value character vector

by

You can use strsplit for that:

wkdays <- "Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri"
unlist(strsplit(wkdays, ","))

this gives:

> unlist(strsplit(wkdays, ","))
[1] "Mon" "Tue" "Wed" "Thu" "Fri"

An alternative is to use scan:

scan(text = wkdays, sep = ",", what = character())

which gives the same result.
