Intermediate Regular Expressions in R Data Camp

Overview

Context

Analyzing data that comes in tables is fun. But what if the things that we find most interesting are not available as a neatly organized dataset but in plain text? 

Do not despair: this Intermediate Regular Expressions in R course offered by Data Camp will teach you everything you need to know to create powerful expressions that will help you find all the information you need for your analyses from just a blob of text. 

But not only that. Using the concept of string distances, you will learn to work even with text that contains typos or scanning errors, as you will be able to match them to their correct counterparts from other data sources (record linkage). As a learning material, we will analyze real documents about box office figures in Swiss cinemas.
