Overview: R is mostly known for its statistical methods on numbers. However, it is also capable of working efficiently with text and analysing it. In this workshop we will take a deep dive into how to work with text in R and introduce you to functions that allow you to even do text mining.
At the end of this workshop, you will be able to
    · manipulate strings efficiently
    · import text from multiple sources
    · lay the basis for working with regular expressions (regex)
    · do some text mining with the tidytext package
