guess_time_only_filter: Try at determining which are true time only variables

In REDCapCAST: REDCap Metadata Casting and Castellated Data Handling

Try at determining which are true time only variables

Description

This is just a try at guessing data type based on data class and column names hoping for a tiny bit of naming consistency. R does not include a time-only data format natively, so the "hms" class from 'readr' is used. This has to be converted to character class before REDCap upload.

Usage

guess_time_only_filter(
  data,
  validate = FALSE,
  sel.pos = "[Tt]i[d(me)]",
  sel.neg = "[Dd]at[eo]"
)

Arguments

data	data set
validate	flag to output validation data. Will output list.
sel.pos	Positive selection regex string
sel.neg	Negative selection regex string

Value

character vector or list depending on 'validate' flag.

Examples

data <- redcapcast_data
data |> guess_time_only_filter()
data |>
  guess_time_only_filter(validate = TRUE) |>
  lapply(head)
