clean_mp: Clean type name along meta-path.

In ayushnoori/metapaths: Meta-Path-Based Network Similarity

Clean type name along meta-path.

Description

For a given meta-path and root node, when the meta-ath data.table is constructed, steps along the meta-path with the same type (e.g., Author-Date-Author) are assigned the same column name. Then, make.unique() is run to deduplicate column names by appending .1, .2, etc. When querying the edge list (or neighbor list), the original (non-unique) type name is required. Hence, this function strips the unique suffix from the type name (e.g., removes .1, .2, etc.).

Usage

clean_mp(type)

Arguments

type	Name of the type along any meta-path of interest.

Value

Cleaned type name.
