get_incremental_names: Construct sequence of incremental names

In toniprice/jutebag: Sundry Utility Functions

Description

Constructs a sequence of names, each of which has an increasing integer appended to it.

Usage

get_incremental_names(n_items, prefix = NULL, sep = "_")

Arguments

n_items	integer: the number of names to generate.
prefix	character: an optional name prefix to use. E.g. if prefix is "xyz" and n_items is 3 this will result in names xyz_1, xyz_2 and xyz_3. If NULL the returned names will simply be a sequence of integers which are formatted as strings.
sep	character: separator to use between prefix and the incremental numbers (default is an underscore). Ignored if prefix = NULL.

Value

a character vector of names with successively incremented integer suffixes.

Examples

get_incremental_names(2, "item")
get_incremental_names(3, "item", sep = "")
get_incremental_names(11, "z")
get_incremental_names(12)
