Is there a way to split a dataframe row into segments (length 3) and recombine the segments using dplyr or plyr?
temp<-rbind(c(1,2,3,4,5,6),c(7,8,9,0,0,0))
matrix(temp,ncol=3,byrow=F) #Fails
Goal
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9

3You need to transpose it first. matrix(as.vector(t(temp)),ncol=3,byrow=T) – mr.joshuagordon Nov 07 '15 at 07:20

Looks like your goal is not to split by row based on the expected output – akrun Nov 07 '15 at 07:20

@mr.joshuagordon, that was what I needed. Can you propose that as an answer with an explanation of why the transpose was necessary? – Rilcon42 Nov 07 '15 at 07:25
