R本身是case sensitive 的,但是在实际情况中也有不想要这个特性的时候,比如
intersect(a,b)
那么,该如何使该函数case insentive呢?
tolower()
toupper()
casefold()
做相应变换
英文说明如下
Character Translation and CasefoldingDescriptionTranslate characters in character vectors, in particular from upper to lower case or vice versa.
Usagechartr(old, new, x)tolower(x)toupper(x)casefold(x, upper = FALSE)Arguments x | a character vector, or an object that can be coerced to character by [url=mkMSITStore:C:\PROGRA~1\R\R-28~1.1\library\base\chtml\base.chm::/character.html]as.character[/url]. | old | a character string specifying the characters to be translated. | new | a character string specifying the translations. | upper | logical: translate to upper or lower case?. |
Detailschartr translates each character in x that is specified in old to the corresponding character specified in new. Ranges are supported in the specifications, but character classes and repeated characters are not. If old contains more characters than new, an error is signaled; if it contains fewer characters, the extra characters at the end of new are ignored.
tolower and toupper convert upper-case characters in a character vector to lower-case, or vice versa. Non-alphabetic characters are left unchanged.
casefold is a wrapper for tolower and toupper provided for compatibility with S-PLUS.
ValueA character vector of the same length and with the same attributes as x (after possible coercion).
Elements of the result will be have the encoding declared as that of the current locale (see [url=mkMSITStore:C:\PROGRA~1\R\R-28~1.1\library\base\chtml\base.chm::/Encoding.html]Encoding[/url] if the corresponding input had a declared encoding and the current locale is either Latin-1 or UTF-8. The result will be in the current locale's encoding unless the corresponding input was in UTF-8, when it will be in UTF-8 when the system has Unicode wide characters.
