Normalize postal codes to the correspondence's own format

Uppercases, strips whitespace, and re-inserts a single space in the middle of a six-character code, producing the "A1A 1A1" form that resolve_postal() reports in its postal_code column. Use it to build a join key on your own records: joining on the column as typed silently drops every code that was not already in that exact form.

Usage

normalize_postal_code(x)

Arguments

x

Character vector of postal codes.

Value

A character vector the same length as x.

Examples

normalize_postal_code(c("m5v3a8", "M5V 3A8", " m5v 3a8 "))
#> [1] "M5V 3A8" "M5V 3A8" "M5V 3A8"
