Hello Dear R Community,
I would ask a little bit of help from you please:I have a dataset, which is in
a CSV file – I have read it into R as follows:
V11 tropical fruit"2 whole milk"3 pip fruit"4
other vegetables"5 whole milk"6 rolls/buns"
The issue is: the data set in Csv file also appears with the quotation marks “.
I can’t get rid of the quotation marks. I want to do it in R. The Quotes only
appear at the end of the string. The dataset has many rows – this is just a
copy. My intention is to be able to get rid of the quotes and then want to
separate the strings with a ‘/’. i.e. rolls/buns should be rolls in one column
and buns in another.
I know this is something very simple I am lacking – but if you could please
show me how to do this? If someone could throw some light please. I read the
data in with a simple read.csv statement:
calc <- read.csv("Fight.csv", stringsAsFactors = F, header = F) str(x)
Output: > str(calc)'data.frame': 38765 obs. of 1 variable: $ V1: chr
"tropical fruit\"" "whole milk\"" "pip fruit\"" "other vegetables\"" ...
Many Thanks in advance for your help.
Kind Regards,
Sam.
