I am trying to simplify a text variable by matching and replacing it with a
string in another vector
so for example in
colours <- paste(letters,colours(),"stuff",LETTERS)
find and replace with ("red","blue","green","gray","yellow","other") -
irrespective of case
its a large dataset, so i'd like to be able to do this as efficiently as
possible.
thanks for any help
