我有一些麻烦的前导和尾随空白在一个数据。框架。
例如，我根据特定条件查看data.frame中的特定行:
> myDummy[myDummy$country == c("Austria"),c(1,2,3:7,19)]
[1] codeHelper country dummyLI dummyLMI dummyUMI
[6] dummyHInonOECD dummyHIOECD dummyOECD
<0 rows> (or 0-length row.names)
我想知道为什么我没有得到预期的输出，因为奥地利显然存在于我的数据框架中。在查看了我的代码历史并试图找出错误后，我尝试了:
> myDummy[myDummy$country == c("Austria "),c(1,2,3:7,19)]
codeHelper country dummyLI dummyLMI dummyUMI dummyHInonOECD dummyHIOECD
18 AUT Austria 0 0 0 0 1
dummyOECD
18 1
我所更改的命令只是在奥地利之后增加了一个空白。
显然还会出现更多烦人的问题。例如，当我喜欢根据国家列合并两帧时。一个data.frame使用“Austria”，而另一个frame使用“Austria”。匹配不起作用。
有没有一种很好的方法来“显示”屏幕上的空白，让我意识到这个问题?
我能移除R开头和结尾的空白吗?
到目前为止，我曾经写过一个简单的Perl脚本，它消除了白色的速度，但如果我能以某种方式在R中做到这一点就好了。

使用dplyr/tidyverse mutate_all和str_trim来修剪整个数据帧:
myDummy %>%
mutate_all(str_trim)
library(tidyverse)
set.seed(335)
df <- mtcars %>%
rownames_to_column("car") %>%
mutate(car = ifelse(runif(nrow(mtcars)) > 0.4, car, paste0(car, " "))) %>%
select(car, mpg)
print(head(df), quote = T)
#> car mpg
#> 1 "Mazda RX4 " "21.0"
#> 2 "Mazda RX4 Wag" "21.0"
#> 3 "Datsun 710 " "22.8"
#> 4 "Hornet 4 Drive " "21.4"
#> 5 "Hornet Sportabout " "18.7"
#> 6 "Valiant " "18.1"
df_trim <- df %>%
mutate_all(str_trim)
print(head(df_trim), quote = T)
#> car mpg
#> 1 "Mazda RX4" "21"
