mutate with case_when and contains

Question

I feel like there should be an efficient way to mutate new columns with dplyr using case_when and contains, but cannot get it to work.

Answer 1

We can use grep

df %>%  
   mutate(group = case_when(grepl("Bl", b) ~ "Group1",
                            grepl("re", b, ignore.case = TRUE) ~"Group2"))
#    a     b  group
#1   1 Black Group1
#2   2 Green Group2
#3   3 Green Group2
#4   4 Green Group2
#5   5   Red Group2
#6   6 Green Group2
#7   7 Black Group1
#8   8 Black Group1
#9   9 Green Group2
#10 10 Green Group2
#11  1 Green Group2
#12  2 Green Group2
#13  3  Blue Group1
#14  4   Red Group2
#15  5  Blue Group1
#16  6   Red Group2
#17  7  Blue Group1
#18  8  Blue Group1
#19  9 Black Group1
#20 10 Black Group1
