Removing Path and File Extension from File Names Using Regex: Effective Solutions for R Users
Removing Path and File Extension from File Names using Regex In this article, we will explore how to remove path and file extension from file names in R using regular expressions. Background When working with files in R, it’s often necessary to manipulate the file paths to extract just the file name or to remove the file extension. While there are built-in functions like file_path_sans_ext that can help achieve this, sometimes a custom solution is needed, especially when dealing with specific patterns.

Grouping by Consecutive Values Using Tidyverse Functions in R
Group by Consecutive Values in R In this article, we will explore how to group consecutive values in a dataset. This is particularly useful when dealing with data that has repeated observations for the same variable over time or across different categories. Introduction The provided question highlights the challenge of identifying and grouping interactions based on consecutive changes in case_id and agent_name. These groups should contain all rows where these two variables are unchanged, while others will be grouped differently to account for changes between agents.
