I'm trying to find the total number of letters in a row of a data frame.
Let's say I have the following data frame.
f1 <- data.frame(keyword=c("I live in Denver", I live in Kansas City, MO",
"Pizza is good"))
The following function gives me the number of characters in each string.
So for "I live in Denver", I get 1, 4, 2, and 6. However, I want to know the
total
number of characters (13).
sapply(strsplit(as.character(f1$keyword), " "), nchar)
Thanks,
Abraham
