In R, I want to convert
t1 <- c('this.text', 'next.text')
"this.text" "next.text"
to
'ThisText' 'NextText'
I have tried
gsub('\\..', '', t1)
But this gives me
"thisext" "nextext"
as it does not replace the letter after the period.
Probably really easy but I can't work it out.
The make_clean_names() function in the janitor package has a function that can be used for this.
In your case:
t1 <- c('this.text', 'next.text')
janitor::make_clean_names(t1, case = "big_camel")
#> [1] "ThisText" "NextText"
The parameter case can be one of many:
“snake”, “small_camel”, “big_camel”, “screaming_snake”, “parsed”, “mixed”, “lower_upper”, “upper_lower”, “swap”, “all_caps”, “lower_camel”, “upper_camel”, “internal_parsing”, “none”, “flip”, “sentence”, “random”, “title”
