Dear R users,
I have 2 SpatialPointsDataFrame's, pcs and East.
The column str_1 in the first (pcs) is:
> pcs[0:4,]
coordinates cat str_1 int_1 int_2 dbl_1 dbl_2
1 (101000, 263000) 1 "SM06B" 101000 263000 4.978915 -4.293668
2 (101000, 265000) 2 "SM06C" 101000 265000 4.960478 -4.266742
3 (101000, 267000) 3 "SM06D" 101000 267000 4.912984 -4.246849
4 (101000, 269000) 4 "SM06E" 101000 269000 4.613309 -4.185405

The column str_1 in the second (East) is:
> East[0:4,]
coordinates str_1
1 (489000, 215000) sp81x
2 (489000, 217000) sp81y
3 (493000, 209000) sp90j
4 (495000, 209000) sp90p

I would like to do 2 things:
1) I would like to change the format of the column str_1
in the first to be the same that it is in the second,
that is I need to remove the inverted commas " and I need to
make it lower case.
2) I would like to extract the rows from the first one (pcs) where
pcs$str_1
is the same as East$str_1.
I have even tried regexp, but cannot modify
the content of pcs$str_1 to remove
the inveretd commas " and change the case to lowercase.
How do I do that?
Regards
