stripColNameAcc: (internal) Remove accession from concatenated string of...

In jameslhao/dbgapr_dev: A dbGaP Phenotype Data Organizer

Description

The method takes a list of concatenated string of variable name and accession, removes the variable accession from each of the string (e.g. AGEPHOT_phv00000027.v2 –> AGEPHOT). After the removal, if there are duplicated items in the list, a .number is appended to each of the repeated items to make the ditinction. For example, the duplicated items LNUCSCORE_phv00053747.v2, LNUCSCORE_phv00000006.v2 become LNUCSCORE.1, LNUCSCORE.2 .
