tonum: Convert to number.

In superchordate/bc: My personal R package with functions I plan to use often.

Description

My flexible number conversion function.

Usage

tonum(x, already.clean.vector = FALSE, na.vals = bc::nastrings,
  na.zero = FALSE, do.remove.chars = FALSE,
  do.na = c("return-unchanged", "warning", "stop", "return-na"),
  verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

x	Vector to be covnerted to numeric.
already.clean.vector	Sometimes in multi-step data operations clean.vector will have already been called.#'
na.vals	Values to consider NA.
na.zero	Set NA values to 0.
do.remove.chars	Remove characters that aren't numeric or numeric-related to aggressively extract numbers from strings.
do.na	What to do if new NA values are crated during the conversion.
verbose	Print messages (via cat) about what the function is doing.

Value

Result vector.

Examples

tonum( c( '1st', '2nd', '3rd' ) )
tonum( c( '1.05', '30%', '-30%', '-45' ) )
