Transcoder : Shiny app to tranpose lists to columns (and reciprocally) and formatting tricks
Often I have to take a character list or column and put it in a vector, which means before I have to add quotes. It takes times.
For me and my colleagues I have created the transcoder shiny app. The main goal is to facilitate formatting list of strings (make a vector from a list, from an Excel column, add quotes, put in pipe R format, or in SQL like, etc.).
You can run the app within stringfix
package :
stringfix::run_transcoder()
You may have to reinstall the package :
devtools::install_github('GuillaumePressiat/stringfix')
You can also view and explore this little app running on shinyapps.io here.
For instance, here is a screenshot of the app that put a column in grepl pipe format:
