decode.default: Decode an Object by Default

In encode: Represent Ordered Lists and Pairs as Strings

Decode an Object by Default

Description

Decodes an object using the default method. Typically x is a character vector containing codes that can be extracted from encoding. Corresponding decodes are returned as a factor with levels of unique decodes. If encoding is NULL, it is replaced with an encoding such that levels and labels are both unique(x). Duplicate codes are ignored. Duplicate decodes are collapsed (combined to a single level).

Usage

## Default S3 method:
decode(x, encoding = NULL, ...)

Arguments

x	object
encoding	length one character that is itself encoded
...	passed arguments

Value

factor
