Here’s a snippet of R code showing how to extract info from the shrivel character data (a file is below…
df <- data.frame(shrivel.txt =c("x", "xoxx", "xxxx", "oooo", "xoooo"))
df # start off with this data frame
str(df)
df$shrivel.count <- nchar(as.character(df$shrivel.txt)) #add column
vx <- gsub("o", "", df$shrivel.txt) # replace o with ""
vx
df$shrivel.xs <- nchar(vx) # make a new column in df
vo <- gsub("x", "", df$shrivel.txt) # replace x with ""
vo
df$shrivel.os <- nchar(vo) # make a new column in df
str(df)
df # final data frame
