How to use rename_with() In R Language

rename_with() is used to change the case of the column. 

  • uppercase: To convert to uppercase, the name of the dataframe along with the toupper is passed to the function which tells the function to convert the case to upper.

Syntax:

rename_with(dataframe,toupper)

Where, dataframe is the input dataframe and toupper is a keyword that converts all columns to upper

  • lowercase: To convert to lowercase, the name of the dataframe along with the tolower is passed to the function which tells the function to convert the case to lower.

Syntax:

rename_with(dataframe,tolower)

where dataframe is the input dataframe and tolower is a keyword that converts all columns to lower.

Example: R program to convert columns to upper and lower

R




# load the library
library(dplyr)
  
# create dataframe with 3 columns id,name 
# and address
data1=data.frame(id=c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,1,4,2),
                   
                 name=c('sravan','ojaswi','bobby',
                        'gnanesh','rohith','pinkey',
                        'dhanush','sravan','gnanesh',
                        'ojaswi'),
                   
                 address=c('hyd','hyd','ponnur','tenali',
                           'vijayawada','vijayawada','guntur',
                           'hyd','tenali','hyd'))
  
# convert all columns to upper
rename_with(data1,toupper)
print("==============")
  
# convert all columns to lower
rename_with(data1,tolower)
