Your question
Here is my attempt at this (taking a specific understanding of the ill-
defined equivalence relation),
unletter - function(word){
word.broken - strsplit(word, NULL)
set.of.numbers - sapply(word.broken[[1]], function(let) which(let ==

How about this?
unletter - function(word) {
gsub('-64',' ',paste(sprintf(%02d,utf8ToInt(tolower(word)) -
96),collapse=''))
}
unletter(abc)
[1] 010203
unletter(Aw)
[1] 0123
unletter(I walk to school)
[1] 09 23011211 2015 190308151512
