string - Group together levels with similar names R

I have a variable q with various levels. Some of the levels are actually the same but have been bad reported.

 length(q)
[1] 13490

I would like to group all similar levels. For example in this case I want to group together cerazetti, cerasete, ceracett... How can I do that?

You can use the function agrep, which searches for approximate matches. It uses the Levenshtein distance and you can maximum distance allowed for a match by means of the argument max.distance.

Taking this vector (the one that you posted except the empty string "" and "KOMMER EJ IHxc5G"):

x <- c("Activelle", "CERACETTE", "cerazette", "CERAZETTE", "CEVAZETTE", 
"Cilest", "Conludag", "DEPO...", "Depo. Pro Vera", "DEPO PROVERA", 
"DEPROVERA", "desorelle", "Diane mite", "ENDEVINA", "ETHISYLESTRA,LEVONORGESTR", 
"EXCLUTENA", "EXLUENTA 0,5MG", "Femanest", "gastonette", "hormon", 
"IMPLANON", "LEMINOVA", "LENONOVA", "lenova", "LENOVA", "Leonova", 
"LEVENOVA", "Levinova", "LEVIONOVA", "levonova", "LEVONOVA", 
"Levonova lykkja", "lindynette", "loette", "malonetta", "Meniva", 
"Mereilom", "Microgyn", "Microgynon", "Milvane", "MINI P", "Mini-pe", 
"MINIRA", "minulet", "minulet p-piller", "Mircne", "Mirena", 
"mirena levonorge", "Modina p-piller", "NEOULETTA", "NORLEVO", 
"Novaring", "Novynette", "Nuva ring", "?stradiol dlf 2", "P-plaster", 
"RESTOVAR", "Spiral", "T-GYN", "TRIMORDIOL", "TRIONETTA 28", 
"T-spiral", "VET EJ", "yasmin", "YASMINELL", "Yasminelle", "ZYRONA", 
"CERACETT", "CERASETTE", "Cerazette", "CERAZETTI", "cilest", 
"Cileste", "COPALETTA?", "Depo-Provera", "DEPOPROVERA", "depoprovin", 
"DESOLETT", "Diane", "Divana", "Estradot", "EXKLUTENA", "EXLUTENA", 
"femenest", "Harmonet", "Hormonspiral", "INPLANON", "LEBONOVA", 
"lemonora", "LENOR", "Lenova", "LENOVA?", "Levanova", "LEVINA", 
"LEVINOVA", "Levnova", "Levonova", "Levonova hormonspiral", "Lindinette", 
"Lindynette", "lyndynette", "Marvelon", "Mercilon", "merivan", 
"microgynon", "Mikrogyn", "MINERVA/LEVONORG.", "MINI-P", "mini-pl", 
"MINNS EJ", "Minulet", "MIRANDA", "mirena", "MIRENA", "MIRENA LEVONORGESTREL", 
"Mod turner: milv", "NEOVLETTA", "novynette", "nuva ring", "NUVARING", 
"?stradiolgel", "PROVERA", "spiral", "Synfase", "triminetta sando", 
"TRINOVUM", "TRIREGOL", "Vagifem", "yas, bayer", "Yasmin", "yasminelle")

You can do:

groups <- list()
i <- 1
while(length(x) > 0)
{
  id <- agrep(x[1], x, ignore.case = TRUE, max.distance = 0.1)
  groups[[i]] <- x[id]
  x <- x[-id]
  i <- i + 1
}

The first groups are defined as follows:

head(groups)
[[1]]
[1] "Activelle"

[[2]]
[1] "CERACETTE" "cerazette" "CERAZETTE" "CERACETT"  "CERASETTE" "Cerazette"

[[3]]
[1] "CEVAZETTE"

[[4]]
[1] "Cilest"  "cilest"  "Cileste"

[[5]]
[1] "Conludag"

[[6]]
[1] "DEPO..."

Be aware that the above code removes the elements in x. When the loop is finished the vector x will be empty.
