I am trying to delete all dashes that appear at the end of a string and my code is causing R to crash. Any tweaks or code fixes that might not cause this would be greatly appreciated!
acct_nm = str_replace_all(acct_nm, "[:punct:]+", "")
Right not I have this wrapped as part of a mutate, unfortunately I cannot show all of my code or include my data. Basically all I want it to replace the acct_nm variable with acct_nm - any trailing punctuation.
As an an example, I want it to work similar to the code below where the variable y gets all trailing punctuation deleted.
library(tidyverse)
test <- data.frame(x = 1:3, y = 'hello-./') %>%
mutate(z = str_replace_all(y, "[:punct:]+", ""))
