colNames: Column Names

In strvalidator: Process Control and Validation of Forensic STR Kits

Column Names

Description

Internal helper function.

Usage

colNames(data, slim = TRUE, concatenate = NULL, numbered = TRUE, debug = FALSE)

Arguments

data	data.frame.
slim	logical, TRUE returns column names occurring once, FALSE returns column names occurring multiple times.
concatenate	string, if not NULL returns a single string with column names concatenated by the provided string instead of a vector.
numbered	logical indicating if repeated column names must have a number suffix.
debug	logical indicating printing debug information.

Details

Takes a data frame as input and return either column names occurring once or multiple times. Matching is done by the 'base name' (the substring to the left of the last period, if any). The return type is a string vector by default, or a single string of column names separated by a string 'concatenate' (see 'collapse' in paste for details). There is an option to limit multiple names to those with a number suffix.

Value

character, vector or string.
