[R] How to match text string ith spaces

[Alejo C.S.]

Hi all, I have a data frame with names that in some cases have blank spaces:

 > TABLE$place
 [1] La Blanqueada  La Blanqueada  La Blanqueada  La Blanqueada  La
Blanqueada
 [6] La Blanqueada  La Blanqueada  Sargento Ponce Sargento Ponce La
Blanqueada
[11] La Blanqueada  Sargento Ponce La Blanqueada  Sargento Ponce La
Blanqueada
[16] Sargento Ponce Sargento Ponce La Blanqueada  La Blanqueada  Sargento
Ponce


> summary(TABLE$place)
   Heredia    La Blanqueada     Sargento Ponce
             7                 29                          22


when I try to subsetting using:

 TABLE$place=="La Blanqueada"

 [1] FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE
FALSE FALSE
[14] FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE
FALSE FALSE
[27] FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE
FALSE FALSE
[40] FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE
FALSE FALSE


Some tip on this?

Thanks in advance
