How to check whether a string is in lowercase or uppercase in R?
We can use str_detect function to check whether a single string or a vector of strings is in lowercase or uppercase. Along with str_detect function, we need to use either upper or lower to check whether the string is in lowercase or uppercase and the output will be returned in TRUE or FALSE form, if the string will be in lowercase and we pass lower with str_detect function then the output will be TRUE and vice-versa.
Example
x1<-letters[1:26] x1
Output
[1] "a" "b" "c" "d" "e" "f" "g" "h" "i" "j" "k" "l" "m" "n" "o" "p" "q" "r" "s" [20] "t" "u" "v" "w" "x" "y" "z"
Example
str_detect(x1,"[[:upper:]]")
Output
[1] FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE [13] FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE [25] FALSE FALSE
Example
x2<-LETTERS[1:26] x2
Output
[1] "A" "B" "C" "D" "E" "F" "G" "H" "I" "J" "K" "L" "M" "N" "O" "P" "Q" "R" "S" [20] "T" "U" "V" "W" "X" "Y" "Z"
Example
str_detect(x2,"[[:upper:]]")
Output
[1] TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE [16] TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE
Example
x3<-"india" x3
Output
[1] "india"
Example
str_detect(x3,"[[:upper:]]")
Output
[1] FALSE
Example
x4<-c("abc","abcd","abcde","bacdef")
x4Output
[1] "abc" "abcd" "abcde" "bacdef"
Example
str_detect(x4,"[[:upper:]]")
Output
[1] FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE
Example
x5<-c("AK", "AL", "AR", "AS", "AZ", "CA", "CO", "CT", "DC", "DE", "FL", "GA", "GU", "HI", "IA", "ID", "IL", "IN", "KS", "KY", "LA", "MA", "MD", "ME", "MI", "MN", "MO", "MP", "MS", "MT", "NC", "ND", "NE", "NH", "NJ", "NM", "NV", "NY", "OH", "OK", "OR", "PA", "PR", "RI", "SC", "SD", "TN", "TX", "UM", "UT", "VA", "VI", "VT", "WA", "WI", "WV", "WY")
