Caution

👷 This session is being actively developed and edited. It will be added here once it is done and ready.

19.1 Learning objectives

1. Use the powerful (but also very difficult) regular expressions to process and clean character data by making use of the stringr package.
2. Handle dates and times in R using the lubridate package.
3. Recognise when you trigger a “non-standard evaluation” error when you make functions using tidyverse functions and fix it by using {{ }}.
