QGIS algorithm - Split features by character

Source: R/qgis_splitfeaturesbycharacter.R

QGIS Algorithm provided by QGIS (native c++) Split features by character (native:splitfeaturesbycharacter). Splits features into multiple output features by splitting a field by a character. This algorithm splits features into multiple output features by splitting a field's value with a specified character. For instance, if a layer contains features with multiple comma separated values contained in a single field, this algorithm can be used to split these values up across multiple output features. Geometries and other attributes remain unchanged in the output. Optionally, the separator string can be a regular expression for added flexibility.

Arguments

INPUT

source - Input layer. Path to a vector layer.

FIELD

field - Split using values in field. The name of an existing field. ; delimited list of existing field names.

CHAR

string - Split values using character. String value. field:FIELD_NAME to use a data defined value taken from the FIELD_NAME field. expression:SOME EXPRESSION to use a data defined value calculated using a custom QGIS expression.

REGEX

boolean - Use regular expression separator. 1 for true/yes. 0 for false/no. field:FIELD_NAME to use a data defined value taken from the FIELD_NAME field. expression:SOME EXPRESSION to use a data defined value calculated using a custom QGIS expression.

OUTPUT

sink - Split. Path for new vector layer.

further parameters passed to qgisprocess::qgis_run_algorithm()

.complete_output

logical specifying if complete out of qgisprocess::qgis_run_algorithm() should be used (TRUE) or first output (most likely the main) should read (FALSE). Default value is TRUE.

.quiet

logical specifying if parameter .quiet for qgisprocess::qgis_run_algorithm() Default value is TRUE.

.messages

logical specifying if messages from qgisprocess::qgis_run_algorithm() should be printed (TRUE) or not (FALSE). Default value is FALSE.
