check.text.args: Text argument validator

In metaseqR: An R package for the analysis and result reporting of RNA-Seq data by combining multiple statistical algorithms.

Description

Checks if one or more given textual argument(s) is/are member(s) of a list of correct arguments. It's a more package-specific function similar to match.arg. Mostly for internal use.

Usage

    check.text.args(arg.name, arg.value, arg.list, 
        multiarg=FALSE)

Arguments

arg.name	the name of the argument that is checked (for display purposes).
arg.value	the value(s) of the argument to be checked.
arg.list	a vector of valid argument values for arg.value to be matched against.
multiarg	a logical scalar indicating whether arg.name accepts multiple arguments or not. In that case, all of the values in arg.value are checked against arg.list.
