Locate duplicates in text and make non-redundant

Description

treatTxtDuplicates locates duplictes in character-vector 'x' and return list (length=3) : with $init (initial), $nRed .. non-redundant text by adding number at end or beginning, and $nrLst .. list-version with indexes per unique entry. Note : NAs (if multiple) will be renamed to NA_1, NA_2

Usage

treatTxtDuplicates(
  x,
  atEnd = TRUE,
  sep = "_",
  onlyCorrectToUnique = FALSE,
  silent = FALSE,
  debug = FALSE,
  callFrom = NULL
)

Arguments

x	(character) vector with character-entries to identify (and remove) duplicates
atEnd	(logical) decide location of placing the counter (at end or at beginning of ID) (see correctToUnique)
sep	(character) separator to add before counter when making non-redundant version
onlyCorrectToUnique	(logical) if TRUE, return only vector of non-redundant
silent	(logical) suppress messages
debug	(logical) additional messages for debugging
callFrom	(character) allow easier tracking of messages produced

Value

list with $init, $nRed, $nrLst

See Also

For simple correction use correctToUnique

Examples

treatTxtDuplicates(c("li0",NA,rep(c("li2","li3"),2)))
correctToUnique(c("li0",NA,rep(c("li2","li3"),2)))
