tidyName: Clean up a name

In RADami: Phylogenetic Analysis of RADseq Data

Description

Deletes in a character vector all the characters provided in fixes.

Usage

tidyName(x, fixes = c("_", ".", " ", "-", ">"),
            case = c("lower", "upper", "nochange"))

Arguments

x	the vector in which to make replacements
fixes	all characters to be replaced
case	change case to upper, lower, or make no changes

Details

This function currently uses no regular expressions or wildcards and is made deliberately very thorough, tedious even, as it cycles through all characters in turn.

Value

A character vector of the same lenth as x, but with characters replaced

Note

I have used this function in many projects, and duplicates of it linger in a variety of places.
