How to change the value in a group of cells?

Question

I'm wondering if it is possible to change the contents of multiple cells in a table using R?

Consider this example: Example

I need to change the values 'Femini.' to 'Feminine'. The problem is that i have a great number of cells to change... Is there some command that help me doing this?

Thanks for the help, Luís

Note that R and Rstudio are distinct pieces of software. I suspect your question is about R, not Rstudio. Please provide a [working example](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5963269/how-to-make-a-great-r-reproducible-example), so we can help you out. Pictures of data are not very helpful. — lmo, May 08 '17 at 17:10

Say your dataframe is called df

df$Genre[df$Genre == 'Femini'] <- 'Feminine'

when you read the file, set stringsAsFactors=FALSE read.csv("path/file.csv", header=TRUE, stringsAsFactors=FALSE) – user2510479 May 08 '17 at 17:17
