Session contents

Main learning objectives

The primary goal of this tutorial is to introduce students to the stringr and stringi packages and practice processing text data. We will start by doing an overview of text data in R, and then move onto comparing stringr to stringi. We will then work through some exercises to get practice with stringr.
