I have a coordinate in the following format:

coordinate <- "43.12+332.11"

Since I need to recover individual Latitude and Longitude parts of this coordinate, I wanted to split at the '+'.

Running the following code:

splitted <- strsplit(coordinate,'+')

however gave this result:

[[1]]
[1] "4" "3" "." "1" "2" "+" "3" "3" "2" "." "1" "1"

How can I split this string at the '+'?

Thanks for your help :-)

try splitting on `"[+]"` – Benjamin May 04 '17 at 12:16

You need to escape it, or use `fixed = TRUE`(prefered) – Sotos May 04 '17 at 12:17
strsplit(coordinate, "+", fixed = TRUE) – MlolM May 04 '17 at 12:19
