pivoting multiple columns R

Question

I have this data:

    structure(list(classificador = c("classificador 1", "classificador 1", 
"classificador 1", "classificador 1", "classificador 1", "classificador 2", 
"classificador 2", "classificador 2", "classificador 2", "classificador 2", 
"classificador 3", "classificador 3", "classificador 3", "classificador 3", 
"classificador 3"), classe = structure(c(1L, 2L, 3L, 4L, 5L, 
1L, 2L, 3L, 4L, 5L, 1L, 2L, 3L, 4L, 5L), .Label = c("bolha", 
"coral_sol", "cosc_mult", "coscinodiscus", "detritus", "fake_coral",

    media_entrou = c(0.000181463342477325, 9.11739514644428e-06, 
    0, 0.00710836752524651, 0.0523307152250179, 5.76207054303695e-05,

    ), N_ciclos = c(118L, 118L, 118L, 118L, 118L, 318L, 318L, 
    318L, 318L, 318L, 158L, 158L, 158L, 158L, 158L)), class = c("grouped_df", 
"tbl_df", "tbl", "data.frame"), row.names = c(NA, -15L), groups = structure(list(
    classificador = c("classificador 1", "classificador 2", "classificador 3"
    ), .rows = structure(list(1:5, 6:10, 11:15), ptype = integer(0), class = c("vctrs_list_of", 
    "vctrs_vctr", "list"))), class = c("tbl_df", "tbl", "data.frame"
), row.names = c(NA, -3L), .drop = TRUE))

I would to like pivot this data with new columns: classificador, classe, E_S, media, and desvio. Where E_S column has the value name entrou accordingly to the columns media_entrou and desvio_entrou and the value name saiu accordingly to the columns media_saiu and desvio_saiu and the values of columns media_entrou and media_saiu in the new column media and the values of columns desvio_entrou and desvio_saiu in the new column desvio.

Output expected for the first 4 rows:

classificador	classe	E_S	media	desv	N_ciclos
classificador 1	bolha	entrou	0.000181	0.000625	118
classificador 1	bolha	saiu	0.0000631	0.000108	118
classificador 1	coral_sol	entrou	0.00000912	0.0000401	118
classificador 1	coral_sol	saiu	0	0	118

Thanks

We may use pivot_longer, specify the regex pattern to capture the groups in names_pattern i.e. ^([^_]+) - match one or more characters that are not a _ from the start (^) and capture ((...)) followed by _ and capture the rest of characters (.*) from the column names which will be the values in the 'E_S' column

library(tidyr)
library(dplyr)
library(stringr)
df1 %>% 
   ungroup %>% 
   select(-N_ciclos) %>%
   dplyr::rename_with(~ str_remove(., "_pad")) %>% 
   pivot_longer(cols = contains("_"), names_to = c(".value", "E_S"),
      names_pattern = "^([^_]+)_(.*)")

-output
