Rename function error

[Fatima_Abubakar]

Hello,

I am trying to rename a column. Like this: rename(Company \n(Maker-if known) = Brand)
But I keep getting this error message: Error: unexpected '\' in "rename(Company "

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

R has rules about what is a valid object name, and this has implications for creating column names;
but basically, if you use quotes you can tell R what is a single name and not a string of commands it doesnt understand. therefore something like

some_data_frame |> rename("Company \n(Maker-if known)" = Brand)

might work if theres such a data frame and it contins Brand etc.
