field_separator: Modify Separating Characters in Field Names

In jamisoncrawford/panthr: Streamlining Preprocessing Tasks with GSU Data

Description

field_separator accepts tabular data with column headers or field names and modifies the separating characters within the column names. Because warehouse field names are separated by underscores (_), this replaces underscores with one or more user-defined characters or metacharacters.

Usage

field_separator(data, sep = " ")

Arguments

data	A data.frame, matrix, or other tabular object with identifiable column headers or field names.
sep	A single character string in quotations specifying the character(s) used to separate words in the column headers or field names. Defaults to a single space, i.e. sep = " ".

Details

Objects passed to argument data = that are not tabular or, if comprised of a single column, without column names will throw an error.

Value

A data.frame object or other tabular data structure with modified separators in column headers, as specified by the user in sep =.
