process_pattern: Extract and Process Pattern-Matched Variables (Internal)

In HARplus: Enhanced R Package for 'GEMPACK' .har and .sl4 Files

Extract and Process Pattern-Matched Variables (Internal)

Description

A helper function that extracts and processes variables matching a specified pattern within an SL4 or HAR data object. Used internally in get_data_by_dims().

Usage

process_pattern(pattern, data_obj, exp_name, pattern_mix = FALSE)

Arguments

pattern	Character. The pattern to match against dimension structures.
data_obj	An SL4 or HAR object containing dimension information and data.
exp_name	Character. The experiment name assigned to the extracted data.
pattern_mix	Logical. If TRUE, allows pattern matching to ignore dimension order.

Details

• Searches for variables whose dimension structures match the given pattern.

• Supports flexible pattern matching when pattern_mix = TRUE, allowing dimension order to vary.

• Extracted data is converted into a tidy format, preserving dimension structures.

• Standardizes "Subtotal" column naming for consistency across datasets.

• Ensures only non-empty extracted variables are retained.

Value

A data frame containing processed data for the matching pattern, or NULL if no matches are found.
