qdapRegex is a collection of regular expression tools associated with the qdap package that may be useful outside of the context of discourse analysis. Tools include removal/extraction/replacement of abbreviations, dates, dollar amounts, email addresses, hash tags, numbers, percentages, citations, person tags, phone numbers, times, and zip codes.
The qdapRegex package does not aim to compete with string manipulation
packages such as
stringr
or stringi
but is meant to provide access to canned, common regular expression patterns
that can be used within qdapRegex, with R's own regular
expression functions, or add on string manipulation packages such as
stringr and stringi.
