R: Split character column and create two new ones

Question

R users

I have a data frame similar to this:

a <- c(\"John, 3 years\") 
b <- c(\"Mokobe, 11 years\")
c <- c(\"Ivan\")
df <- rbind(a,b,c)
df
          


        

Answer 1

# This should work
library(stringr)

a <- c("John, 3 years") 
b <- c("Mokobe, 11 years")
c <- c("Ivan")
df<- rbind(a,b,c)

df<- str_split_fixed(df, ",", 2)
