Merge Named Vectors
This function allows merging for multiple simple named vectors (each element needs to be named).
Basically, all elements carrying the same name across different input-vectors will be ailgned in the same coumn of the output (input-vectors appear as lines).
If vectors are not given using a name (see first example below), they will be names 'x.1' etc (see argument namePrefix).
Note : The arguments 'namePrefix', 'callFrom' and 'silent' must be given with full name to be recognized as such (and not get considered as vector for merging).
mergeVectors(..., namePrefix = "x.", callFrom = NULL, silent = FALSE)
... |
all vectors that need to be merged |
namePrefix |
(character) prefix to numers used when vectors are not given with explicit names (second exammple) |
callFrom |
(character) allow easier tracking of message produced |
silent |
(logical) suppres messages |
matrix of merged values
merge (for two data.frames)
x1 <- c(a=1, b=11, c=21) x2 <- c(b=12, c=22, a=2) x3 <- c(a=3, d=43) mergeVectors(vect1=x1, vect2=x2, vect3=x3) x4 <- 41:44 # no names - not conform for merging mergeVectors(x1,x2,x3,x4)
