To remove all punctuation from a character string in R, you can use regular expressions and the gsub()
function. The following code shows an example:
main.r234 chars9 lines
In this code, we first load the stringr
package for string manipulation functions. We then define a character string sentence
that includes punctuation. We use the gsub()
function to replace all punctuation characters (identified by the regular expression [[:punct:]]
) with an empty string. The resulting string with no punctuation is assigned to clean_sentence
.
