compare values in R when within a string of letters

问题

I need to check if the values of two columns fulfil certain conditions, but the value in one column is within a string of letters.

If the value of CURRENT_ID is equal to the value of CURRENT_TEXT_1 or CURRENT_TEXT_2 plus 2, when CURRENT_TEXT_1 or CURRENT_TEXT_2 are equal to DISPLAY_BOUNDARY, then I need in the OUTPUT column a value of 1, otherwise a value of zero.

Here are some example lines of my datafile (df) and the output I would like to obtain:

 PARTICIPANT     ITEM   CONDITION      CURRENT_TEXT_1               CURRENT_TEXT_2                 CURRENT_ID            OUTPUT

My attempt is:

df$OUTPUT <- ifelse(df$CURRENT_ID==((grepl("DISPLAY_BOUNDARY",df$CURRENT_TEXT_1)|grepl("DISPLAY_BOUNDARY",df$CURRENT_TEXT_2))+2, 1, 0)

But I don't know how to extract the value associated with DISPLAY_BOUNDARY. Any help would be appreciated.

回答1:

Something like this, perhaps...

#extract any relevant numeric values from ct1 and ct2
ct1 <- as.numeric(gsub("DISPLAY_BOUNDARY ([0-9]+).*","\\1",df$CURRENT_TEXT_1))  
ct2 <- as.numeric(gsub("DISPLAY_BOUNDARY ([0-9]+).*","\\1",df$CURRENT_TEXT_2))

#use mapply to check each row and return logical value as numeric
df$OUTPUT <- as.numeric(mapply(function(id,x1,x2) id %in% c(x1+2,x2+2),
                               as.numeric(df$CURRENT_ID),ct1,ct2))
