[R] map two names into one

[arun]

Hi,
There was a typo in my previous email.
 vec1<-"Iphone 4S 16 G"
 vec2<-"4S G 16 Iphone"
 vec3<-"16 G Iphone 4S"
vec4<-"3S G 16 Iphone"

res11<- paste(sort(unlist(strsplit(vec1," "))),collapse="_") # I typed vec4 instead of vec1
res33<-paste(sort(unlist(strsplit(vec3," "))),collapse= "_") 
res44<-paste(sort(unlist(strsplit(vec4," "))),collapse= "_")
 res11
#[1] "16_4S_G_Iphone"
 identical(res11,res33)
#[1] TRUE
 identical(res11,res44)
#[1] FALSE

I am not sure what the problem is.  It works with this example.  If you can provide some details, then it would be more helpful.


A.K.

Thanks.

Yes. Your approach can identify:
Glaxy ace S 5830  and
S 5830 Glaxy ace

But you can not identify using same program:

Iphone 4S 16 G
Iphone 4S 16G

How should I solve both in same time.

Kind regards,
Tammy
