\arguments{
\item{data}{A data frame to pivot.}
\item{select}{Variables that will be included when performing the required
tasks. Can be either
\itemize{
\item a variable specified as a literal variable name (e.g., \code{column_name}),
\item a string with the variable name (e.g., \code{"column_name"}), or a character
vector of variable names (e.g., \code{c("col1", "col2", "col3")}),
\item a formula with variable names (e.g., \code{~column_1 + column_2}),
\item a vector of positive integers, giving the positions counting from the left
(e.g. \code{1} or \code{c(1, 3, 5)}),
\item a vector of negative integers, giving the positions counting from the
right (e.g., \code{-1} or \code{-1:-3}),
\item one of the following select-helpers: \code{starts_with()}, \code{ends_with()},
\code{contains()}, a range using \code{:} or \code{regex("")}. \code{starts_with()},
\code{ends_with()}, and \code{contains()} accept several patterns, e.g
\code{starts_with("Sep", "Petal")}.
\item or a function testing for logical conditions, e.g. \code{is.numeric()} (or
\code{is.numeric}), or any user-defined function that selects the variables
for which the function returns \code{TRUE} (like: \code{foo <- function(x) mean(x) > 3}),
\item ranges specified via literal variable names, select-helpers (except
\code{regex()}) and (user-defined) functions can be negated, i.e. return
non-matching elements, when prefixed with a \code{-}, e.g. \code{-ends_with("")},
\code{-is.numeric} or \code{-Sepal.Width:Petal.Length}. \strong{Note:} Negation means
that matches are \emph{excluded}, and thus, the \code{exclude} argument can be
used alternatively. For instance, \code{select=-ends_with("Length")} (with
\code{-}) is equivalent to \code{exclude=ends_with("Length")} (no \code{-}). In case
negation should not work as expected, use the \code{exclude} argument instead.
}
If \code{NULL}, selects all columns. Patterns that found no matches are silently
ignored, e.g. \code{find_columns(iris, select = c("Species", "Test"))} will just
return \code{"Species"}.}
\item{names_to}{The name of the new column that will contain the column
names.}
\item{names_prefix}{A regular expression used to remove matching text from
the start of each variable name.}
\item{names_sep, names_pattern}{If \code{names_to} contains multiple values, this
argument controls how the column name is broken up.
\code{names_pattern} takes a regular expression containing matching groups, i.e. "()".}
\item{values_to}{The name of the new column that will contain the values of
the pivoted variables.}
\item{values_drop_na}{If \code{TRUE}, will drop rows that contain only \code{NA} in the
\code{values_to} column. This effectively converts explicit missing values to
implicit missing values, and should generally be used only when missing values
in data were created by its structure.}
\item{rows_to}{The name of the column that will contain the row names or row
numbers from the original data. If \code{NULL}, will be removed.}
\item{ignore_case}{Logical, if \code{TRUE} and when one of the select-helpers or
a regular expression is used in \code{select}, ignores lower/upper case in the
search pattern when matching against variable names.}
\item{regex}{Logical, if \code{TRUE}, the search pattern from \code{select} will be
treated as regular expression. When \code{regex = TRUE}, select \emph{must} be a
character string (or a variable containing a character string) and is not
allowed to be one of the supported select-helpers or a character vector
of length > 1. \code{regex = TRUE} is comparable to using one of the two
select-helpers, \code{select = contains("")} or \code{select = regex("")}, however,
since the select-helpers may not work when called from inside other
functions (see 'Details'), this argument may be used as workaround.}
\item{...}{Currently not used.}
\item{cols}{Identical to \code{select}. This argument is here to ensure compatibility
with \code{tidyr::pivot_longer()}. If both \code{select} and \code{cols} are provided, \code{cols}
is used.}
\item{colnames_to}{Deprecated. Use \code{names_to} instead.}
}
\value{
If a tibble was provided as input, \code{reshape_longer()} also returns a
tibble. Otherwise, it returns a data frame.
}
\description{
This function "lengthens" data, increasing the number of rows and decreasing
the number of columns. This is a dependency-free base-R equivalent of
\code{tidyr::pivot_longer()}.
