How to filter certain words from retweet count #57

Closed tneyazi closed 5 years ago

tneyazi commented 5 years ago

I am trying to filter certain words from retweet count since i am working with mix of English and non-English tweets. Some of the words typed in English do not make sense. I used the following code, but its not working

word_by_rts %>% filter(str_detect(word_by_rts == "hrs") %>% arrange(desc(retweetCount))

The above code is written after

word_by_rts %>% filter(uses >= 5) %>% arrange(desc(retweetCount))

Could you please help>

Thanks so much for your interest in the book @tneyazi!

I am having a bit of trouble following your question. Are you saying you are encountering an error using code and data from the book, or using your own data?

One thing to notice is that the dataframe word_by_rts does not contain a column called word_by_rts. You might want to use a line of code that looks more like filter(str_detect(word == "hrs").
