hy3_parse: Parses Hy-Tek .hy3 files

In SwimmeR: Data Import, Cleaning, and Conversions for Swimming Results

Parses Hy-Tek .hy3 files

Description

Helper function used inside 'swim_parse' for dealing with Hy-Tek .hy3 files. Can have more columns than other 'swim_parse' outputs, because .hy3 files can contain more data

Usage

hy3_parse(
  file,
  avoid = avoid_minimal,
  typo = typo_default,
  replacement = replacement_default
)

Arguments

file	output from read_results
avoid	a list of strings. Rows in x containing these strings will not be included. For example "Pool:", often used to label pool records, could be passed to avoid. The default is avoid_default, which contains many strings similar to "Pool:", such as "STATE:" and "Qual:". Users can supply their own lists to avoid.
typo	a list of strings that are typos in the original results. swim_parse is particularly sensitive to accidental double spaces, so "Central High School", with two spaces between "Central" and "High" is a problem, which can be fixed. Pass "Central High School" to typo. Unexpected commas as also an issue, for example "Texas, University of" should be fixed using typo and replacement
replacement	a list of fixes for the strings in typo. Here one could pass "Central High School" (one space between "Central" and "High") and "Texas" to replacement fix the issues described in typo

Value

returns a data frame with columns Name, Place, Age, Team, Prelims, Finals, & Event. May also contain Seed_Time, USA_ID, and/or Birthdate. Note all swims will have a Finals, even if that time was actually swam in the prelims (i.e. a swimmer did not qualify for finals). This is so that final results for an event can be generated from just one column.
