How to convert a string vector into title case in R?
We cannot be sure about the data characteristics we get for analysis and mostly it is not well organised, thus, the first task would be to make it more organised. The string values not in title case should also be taken care of if it is especially supposed to be in title case. For this purpose, we can str_to_title function of stringr package.
Example1
> x1<-sample(c("india","indonesia","russia","canada","united kingdom"),100,replace=TRUE)
> x1Output
[1] "india" "united kingdom" "indonesia" "canada" [5] "canada" "india" "united kingdom" "canada" [9] "indonesia" "united kingdom" "indonesia" "canada" [13] "russia" "indonesia" "canada" "russia" [17] "united kingdom" "russia" "russia" "india" [21] "united kingdom" "india" "india" "united kingdom" [25] "united kingdom" "india" "united kingdom" "canada" [29] "united kingdom" "indonesia" "united kingdom" "canada" [33] "canada" "russia" "united kingdom" "united kingdom" [37] "indonesia" "united kingdom" "united kingdom" "indonesia" [41] "indonesia" "canada" "india" "united kingdom" [45] "india" "india" "india" "indonesia" [49] "united kingdom" "canada" "indonesia" "india" [53] "canada" "canada" "india" "india" [57] "indonesia" "canada" "canada" "indonesia" [61] "united kingdom" "indonesia" "india" "india" [65] "canada" "india" "canada" "canada" [69] "india" "india" "united kingdom" "russia" [73] "united kingdom" "canada" "canada" "indonesia" [77] "indonesia" "india" "india" "india" [81] "india" "india" "india" "india" [85] "united kingdom" "canada" "indonesia" "india" [89] "indonesia" "canada" "indonesia" "russia" [93] "india" "india" "canada" "indonesia" [97] "united kingdom" "indonesia" "united kingdom" "russia"
