Punctuation Removal for Text

Description

Keeps the punctuations you want and removes the punctuations you don't

Usage

punctuate(
  text,
  allowPunctuations = c("-", "?", "'", "\"", ";", ",", ".", "!")
)

Arguments

text	Character vector or list. Text in a vector or list data format
allowPunctuations	Character vector. Punctuations that should be allowed in the text. Defaults to common punctuations in English text

Details

Coarsely removes punctuations from text. Keeps general punctuations that are used in most English language text. Apostrophes are much trickier. For example, not allowing "'" will remove apostrophes from contractions like "can't" becoming "cant"

Value

Returns text with only the allowed punctuations
