toptimes_parse_hytek: Formats Hytek style swimming and diving Top Times reports...

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

Formats Hytek style swimming and diving Top Times reports read with read_results into a data frame

Description

Takes the output of read_results and cleans it, yielding a data frame of swimming (and diving) top times

Usage

toptimes_parse_hytek(
  file_hytek_toptimes,
  avoid_hytek_toptimes = avoid,
  typo_hytek_toptimes = typo,
  replacement_hytek_toptimes = replacement
)

Arguments

file_hytek_toptimes	output from read_results
avoid_hytek_toptimes	a list of strings. Rows in file_hytek_toptimes containing these strings will not be included. For example "Pool:", often used to label pool records, could be passed to avoid_hytek_toptimes. 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_hytek_toptimes. avoid_hytek_toptimes is handled before typo_hytek_toptimes and replacement_hytek_toptimes.
typo_hytek_toptimes	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_hytek_toptimes. Unexpected commas as also an issue, for example "Texas, University of" should be fixed using typo_hytek_toptimes and replacement_hytek_toptimes
replacement_hytek_toptimes	a list of fixes for the strings in typo_hytek. Here one could pass "Central High School" (one space between "Central" and "High") and "Texas" to replacement_hytek_toptimes fix the issues described in typo_hytek_toptimes

Value

returns a data frame with columns Rank, Result, Name, Age, Date Meet & Event. Top Times reports do not designate Team.
