Dear R world,
Do you know about a function that would capitalize in the correct manner
first and family names?
I found in the cwhmisc only the CapLeading function, but it just does not do
the job, taking care only to capitalize the first letter of a word.
I am looking for a function that would recognize " |'|Mc|-" and capitalize
the first letter following these characters.
An example:
names<-c("jean-francois st-john","helene o'donnel", "joe mcintyre")
Desired result:
>"Jean-Francois St-John" "Helene O'Donnel" "Joe McIntyre"
Thanks,
Rock
