Splitting vector based on vector of chunk-lengths

Question

I\'ve got a vector of binary numbers. I know the consecutive length of each group of objects; how can I split based on that information (without for loop)?

x         


        

Answer 1

Another option is

split(x,cumsum(sequence(.length)==1))
#$`1`
#[1] "1" "0"

#$`2`
#[1] "1" "0" "0" "0"

#$`3`
#[1] "0" "0" "1"

to get the group names

split(x, sub('.$', '', names(sequence(.length))))
#$group1
#[1] "1" "0"

#$group2
#[1] "1" "0" "0" "0"

#$group3
#[1] "0" "0" "1"
