ez.2char: factor 2 char

In jerryzhujian9/zmisc: ez Zhu's miscellaneous functions

factor 2 char

Description

convert a column of factor type (or all factor columns) in a data frame into character type as.character(). Check with is.factor(). If not is.factor(), remain untouched.

Usage

ez.2char(x, col = NULL)

Arguments

x	a data frame or a vector/col
col	internally evaluated by eval('dplyr::select()') if x is a data frame, col is specified (e.g., "cond"), convert that col only. if x is a data frame, col is unspecified (i.e., NULL default), convert all possible factor cols in x if x is not a data frame, col is ignored

Details

Both value and variable label attributes will be kept when converting variables to characters.

Value

returns a character vector or a data frame with changed col(s)

Note

ez.2char only coverts factor, ez.str coverts all types, both use as.character
