Dani :
I realise this question has been asked previously, but I can't seem to get the code to work.
Here is my data:
structure(list(ph503_3 = c(-1, -1, -1, 0, -1, -1), gripstrength = c(33,
40, 26, 30, 49, 31), IPAQmetminutes = c(5196, 198, 1674, 642,
11724, 1155), tugtimesec = c(8, 7, 7, 17, 9, 8), MHcesd = c(1,
0, 1, 12, 0, 9), id = c("292221", "334262", "075822", "40642",
"274222", "245801"), age = c(58, 68, 54, 64, 52, 58), COGmmse = c(30,
27, 29, 27, 30, 29), DISconverse1 = c("None", "None", "None",
"None", "None", "None"), MDantidepressant = c("No", "No", "No",
"Yes", "No", "No"), MDantipark = c(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0), MDpolypharmacy = c(0,
0, 0, 1, 0, 0), W2socialclass = c("Skilled", "Semi-skilled",
"Managerial & Technical", "Non-Manual", "Skilled", "Managerial & Technical"
), bh201 = c("Would never doze", "Would never doze", "Slight chance of dozing",
"Would never doze", "High chance of dozing", "Would never doze"
), fl001_01 = c("NOT Walking 100 metres (100 yards)", "NOT Walking 100 metres (100 yards)",
"NOT Walking 100 metres (100 yards)", "Walking 100 metres (100 yards)",
"NOT Walking 100 metres (100 yards)", "NOT Walking 100 metres (100 yards)"
), fl001_02 = c("NOT Running or jogging about 1.5 kilometres (1 mile)",
"Running or jogging about 1.5 kilometres (1 mile)", "NOT Running or jogging about 1.5 kilometres (1 mile)",
"Running or jogging about 1.5 kilometres (1 mile)", "Running or jogging about 1.5 kilometres (1 mile)",
"NOT Running or jogging about 1.5 kilometres (1 mile)"), fl001_04 = c("NOT Getting up from a chair after sitting for long periods",
"NOT Getting up from a chair after sitting for long periods",
"NOT Getting up from a chair after sitting for long periods",
"Getting up from a chair after sitting for long periods", "NOT Getting up from a chair after sitting for long periods",
"NOT Getting up from a chair after sitting for long periods"),
fl001_05 = c("NOT Climbing several flights of stairs without resting",
"NOT Climbing several flights of stairs without resting",
"NOT Climbing several flights of stairs without resting",
"Climbing several flights of stairs without resting", "NOT Climbing several flights of stairs without resting",
"NOT Climbing several flights of stairs without resting"),
fl001_06 = c("NOT Climbing one flight of stairs without resting",
"NOT Climbing one flight of stairs without resting", "NOT Climbing one flight of stairs without resting",
"Climbing one flight of stairs without resting", "NOT Climbing one flight of stairs without resting",
"NOT Climbing one flight of stairs without resting"), fl001_07 = c("NOT Stooping, kneeling, or crouching",
"NOT Stooping, kneeling, or crouching", "NOT Stooping, kneeling, or crouching",
"Stooping, kneeling, or crouching", "NOT Stooping, kneeling, or crouching",
"NOT Stooping, kneeling, or crouching")), row.names = c(NA,
-6L), class = c("tbl_df", "tbl", "data.frame"))
My code:
mydata <- mydata %>%
mutate_if(class(.)=="character" & str_detect(colnames(.), "^fl\\d|^ph\\d"), ~if_else(grepl("NOT ", .), 0, 1))
The code runs, but nothing happens and I get the following message when I knit the markdown:
Warning message:
In class(.) == "character" & str_detect(colnames(.), "^fl\\d|^ph\\d") :
longer object length is not a multiple of shorter object length
r2evans :
The conditional needs to return multiple columns all at once, but reading class(.) == "character" makes me believe you are checking one column at a time. The . is replaced internally with the whole frame not individual columns/vectors. The second half of your conditional is correct, but the first:
myfunc <- function(...) { browser(); TRUE; }
mydata %>% mutate_if(myfunc(.), ~ 1)
# Browse[2]>
list(...)
# [[1]]
# # A tibble: 6 x 20
# ph503_3 gripstrength IPAQmetminutes tugtimesec MHcesd id age COGmmse DISconverse1
# <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <chr> <dbl> <dbl> <chr>
# 1 -1 33 5196 8 1 2922~ 58 30 None
# 2 -1 40 198 7 0 3342~ 68 27 None
# 3 -1 26 1674 7 1 0758~ 54 29 None
# 4 0 30 642 17 12 40642 64 27 None
# 5 -1 49 11724 9 0 2742~ 52 30 None
# 6 -1 31 1155 8 9 2458~ 58 29 None
# # ... with 11 more variables: MDantidepressant <chr>, MDantipark <dbl>, MDpolypharmacy <dbl>,
# # W2socialclass <chr>, bh201 <chr>, fl001_01 <chr>, fl001_02 <chr>, fl001_04 <chr>,
# # fl001_05 <chr>, fl001_06 <chr>, fl001_07 <chr>
In that context, class(whole_data_frame) == "character" does not make sense (by itself).
You can look for character columns using sapply(., is.character) (or one of purrr's equivalents):
mydata %>%
mutate_if(sapply(., is.character) &
stringr::str_detect(colnames(.), "^fl\\d|^ph\\d"),
~ +(!grepl("NOT ", .))) %>%
str(.)

(I shortened your if_else(grepl("NOT ", .), 0, 1) to be just +(!grepl("NOT ", .)), a little for code-golf, a little because I think using ifelse/if_else there is a little more than necessary. It's not wrong, and if your future needs are a little more complex than just 0/1, then if_else is certainly good. My trick of +(...) is a way to quickly convert logical to integer, try +TRUE.)
