rename_wrap_var | R Documentation |
Rename a variable in the xform_wrap transform object.
rename_wrap_var(wrap_object, xform_info = NA, ...)
wrap_object |
Wrapper object obtained by using the xform_wrap function on the raw data. |
xform_info |
Specification of details of the renaming. |
... |
Further arguments passed to or from other methods. |
Once input data is wrapped by the xform_wrap function, it is somewhat involved to rename a variable inside. This function makes it easier to do so. Given a variable named input_var and the name one wishes to rename it to, output_var, the rename command options are:
xform_info="input_var -> output_var"
There are two methods in which the variables can be referred to. The first method is to use its column number; given the data attribute of the boxData object, this would be the order at which the variable appears. This can be indicated in the format "column#". The second method is to refer to the variable by its name. This method will work even if the renamed value already exists; in which case there will be two variables with the same name.
If no input variable name is provided, the original object is returned with no renaming performed.
