Hi, I have two tables and I need to merge both. I use the merge command, but in this way the name must be exactly. How I can make to compare independently of upper or lower-case?
Look: data1<-data.frame(journal=c("Ecology","Environmental Entomology","Neotropical Biology And Conservation")) data2<-data.frame(journal=c("Ecology","Environmental Entomology","Neotropical Biology and Conservation","Sociobiology"),qualis=c("A1","A2","B1","B5")) merge(data1,data2) > merge(data1,data2) journal qualis 1 Ecology A1 2 Environmental Entomology A2 the expected result is: journal qualis 1 Ecology A1 2 Environmental Entomology A2 3 Neotropical Biology And Conservation B1 Look that result is wrong because the "And" and "and" in the name "Neotropical Biology And Conservation" how to fix it automatically? Has any function to make all names lowercase or any other mean to make this to work. Thanks Ronaldo -- 16ª lei - Lembre-se, é a sua dissertação. Você (!) é quem precisa fazê-la. --Herman, I. P. 2007.
