Hi all,
i have a dataframe with 34 columns and 1534 observations.
In some columns I have strings with spaces, i want remove the space.
Is there a function that removes whitespace from the entire dataframe?
I use gsub but I would need some function to automate this.
Something like
X <- as.data.frame(lapply(X,function(x){gsub(" ","",x)}))
Untested, since you provide no reproducible example (despite being told
by the posting guide to do so).
I do not know what my idea will do to numeric columns or to factors.
However it should give you at least a start.
cheers,
