treatTxtDuplicates

Locate duplicates in text and make non-redundant

Description

treatTxtDuplicates locates duplictes in character-vector 'x' and return list (length=3) : with $init (initial), $nRed .. non-redundant text by adding number at end or beginning, and $nrLst .. list-version with indexes per unique entry. Note : NAs (if multiple) will be renamed to NA_1, NA_2

Usage

treatTxtDuplicates(
  x,
  atEnd = TRUE,
  sep = "_",
  onlyCorrectToUnique = FALSE,
  silent = FALSE,
  callFrom = NULL
)

Arguments

`x`	(character) vector with character-entries to identify (and remove) duplicates
`atEnd`	(logical) decide location of placing the counter (at end or at beginning of ID) (see `correctToUnique`)
`sep`	(character) separator to add before counter when making non-redundant version
`onlyCorrectToUnique`	(logical) if TRUE, return only vector of non-redundant
`silent`	(logical) suppress messages
`callFrom`	(character) allow easier tracking of message(s) produced

Value

list with $init, $nRed, $nrLst

Examples

treatTxtDuplicates(c("li0",NA,rep(c("li2","li3"),2)))
correctToUnique(c("li0",NA,rep(c("li2","li3"),2)))
