Removing all white-spaces from a string

Question

I have a string alphabets -> "aa bb cc dd ee ff gg". I would want to remove all the white-spaces in the string and get the resultant string as "aabbccddeeffgg".

Answer 1

You can use the 'str_replace_all()' function from the stringr package:

library(stringr)

str_replace_all(alphabets," ","")->alphabets

> alphabets
[1] "aabbccddeeffgg"
