Renames a list of participants

Description

This function changes the IDs of a given set of participants, where possible.

Usage

renameParticipants(labbcat.url, current.ids, new.ids, no.progress = FALSE)

Arguments

labbcat.url	URL to the LaBB-CAT instance
current.ids	A vector of participant IDs that as they are currently defined in the corpus.
new.ids	A vector of new participant IDs, each element corresponding to an ID in current.ids.
no.progress	TRUE to suppress visual progress bar. Otherwise, progress bar will be shown when interactive().

Value

A vector of results, each element corresponding to an ID in current.ids. If the ID was successfully changed, the corresponding element is TRUE. If the ID could not be changed (e.g. because there is already an existing participant using the new ID), then the corresponding element is FALSE.
