makeMRFromText

Create Multiple Response Variable from Delimited lists

Description

Surveys often record multiple response questions in delimited lists where each respondent's selections are separated by a delimiter like ; or |. This function breaks the delimited responses into subvariables, uploads those subvariables to Crunch, and finally creates a multiple response variable from them.

Usage

makeMRFromText(
  var,
  delim,
  name,
  selected = "selected",
  not_selected = "not_selected",
  unanswered = NA,
  ...
)

Arguments

`var`	The variable containing the delimited responses
`delim`	The delimiter separating the responses
`name`	The name of the resulting MR variable
`selected`	A character string used to indicate a selection, defaults to "selected"
`not_selected`	Character string identifying non-selection, defaults to "not_selected"
`unanswered`	Character string indicating non-response, defaults to NA.
`...`	Other arguments to be passed on to `makeMR()`

Value
