Hi,

I have directory data file and just trying to do descriptive analysis. Now I have two column name city and zipcode.
Some city name saved in to zipcode columns. now I want to move those city name from zipcode columns to city columns.
Sample Data:

Tumbol Thatum Amphoe Tha Tum Province Surin 32120	Surin	32120
Province Ranong		Ranong
154 Moo 6 Soi Wat Koosrang Suksawat Tumbol Nai Khlong Bang Plakot Amphoe Phra Samut Chedi Province Samut Prakan 10290	Samut Prakan	10290
Tumbol Naimueang Amphoe Mueang Chai Nat Province Chai Nat 17000	Chai Nat	17000
Province Chiang Mai	Chiang	Mai

Here we can see another problem is some city name half in city column and half in zipcode column so how can we correct it?

How can we extract city name from address and impute in city columns? there are 113 cities so we can’t do manually.

Can anyone have any Idea how can I do in R?

Thanks in Advance
