multisplit {IRanges} | R Documentation

## Split elements belonging to multiple groups

### Description

This is like `split`, except elements can belong to multiple groups, in which case they are repeated to appear in multiple elements of the return value.

### Usage

    multisplit(x, f)

### Arguments

`x` | The object to split, like a vector.
`f` | A list-like object of vectors, the same length as `x`, where each element indicates the groups to which each element of `x` belongs.

### Value

A list-like object, with an element for each unique value in the unlisted `f`, containing the elements in `x` where the corresponding element in `f` contained that value. Just try it.
