Value Matching with optional reversing of sub-parts of non-matching elements

Description

This function provides a variant to match, where initially non-matching elements of x will be tested by decomposing non-matching elements, reversing the parts in front and after the separator sep and re-matching. If separator sep does not occur, a warning will be issued, if it occurs more than once, the parts before and after the first separartor will be used and a warning issued.

Usage

matchNamesWithReverseParts(
  x,
  y,
  sep = "-",
  silent = FALSE,
  debug = FALSE,
  callFrom = NULL
)

Arguments

x	(character) first vector for match
y	(character) second vector for match
sep	(character) separator between elements
silent	(logical) suppress messages
debug	(logical) additional messages for debugging
callFrom	(character) allow easier tracking of messages produced

Value

index for matching (integer) x to y

Examples

tx1 <- c("a-b","a-c","d-a","d-b","b-c","d-c")
tmp <- triCoord(4)
tx2 <- paste(letters[tmp[,1]],letters[tmp[,2]],sep="-")
## Some matches won't be found, since 'a-d' got reversed to 'd-a', etc... 
match(tx1,tx1)  
matchNamesWithReverseParts(tx1,tx2)
