decode.default {encode}

Decode an Object by Default

Description

Decodes an object using the default method. Typically x is a character vector containing codes that can be extracted from encoding. Corresponding decodes are returned as a factor with levels of unique decodes. If encoding is NULL, it is replaced with an encoding such that levels and labels are both unique(x). Duplicate codes are ignored. Duplicate decodes are collapsed (combined to a single level).

Usage

decode(x, encoding = NULL, ...)
