String Manipulation with stringr in R

Description

In this course, you will :

• Begin with the fundamentals: how to enter strings in R, how to control how numbers are transformed to strings, and how to combine strings to produce output that combines text and nicely formatted numbers.
• Learning about some stringr functions that are very similar to some base R functions, then detecting specific patterns in strings, splitting strings apart, and finding and replacing parts of strings.
• Learn about regular expressions, a programming language used to describe patterns in strings.
• Learn how to deal with strings or patterns that contain Unicode characters (for example, é).
• learn a few new skills, such as reading strings into R and dealing with case problems (e.g. A versus a).

Syllabus :

• String basics
• Introduction to stringr
