remove all trailing whitspaces R

To remove all trailing whitespaces in R, you can use the trimws() function. Here are the steps to achieve this:

  1. Identify the variable or column that contains the trailing whitespaces.
  2. Use the trimws() function to remove the trailing whitespaces.

Here's an example:

# Step 1: Identify the variable with trailing whitespaces
my_variable <- c("example  ", "test  ", "data  ")

# Step 2: Use the trimws() function to remove trailing whitespaces
my_variable_trimmed <- trimws(my_variable)

# Print the trimmed variable
print(my_variable_trimmed)

Output:

[1] "example" "test"    "data"

In this example, the my_variable vector contains strings with trailing whitespaces. The trimws() function is applied to my_variable, and the resulting trimmed variable is stored in my_variable_trimmed. The print() function is then used to display the trimmed variable, which removes all trailing whitespaces.

By following these steps, you will be able to remove trailing whitespaces from your variable or column in R.
