In LSDinterface: Interface Tools for LSD Simulation Results Files

Get a nice (R) variable name

Description

This function produces a nicer variable name from R initial column name conversion, in particular removing leading underscores.

Usage

name.nice.lsd( r.name )

Arguments

r.name

a string, a vector of strings, or an object which can be coerced to a character vector by as.character, from the column names produced by reading a LSD results file.

Details

The function removes the extra/ending '.' characters introduced by R and introduces a '_' between time span values and deletes leading underscores ('_'), converted to 'X_' by R.

Value

A string or a string vector with the same attributes as x (after possible coercion) and the format NAME[.POSITION.INI_END].
