clean_colnames: Clean column names

In gbasulto/rmiscfun: Miscellaneous functions in R

Description

It cleans column names (my relative definition of 'clean'). Specifically, it separates with underscore (e.g., "pikaPika" to "pika_Pika"), replaces blank spaces with underscore, replaces multiple symbols with single underscore, and removes symbols after last word. These steps are followed IN THAT ORDER.

Usage

clean_colnames(column_names)

Arguments

column_names

A vector with column names

Value

A vector with clean names
