recode_rename {rock}

Rename one or more codes

Description

These functions rename one or more codes in one or more sources.

Usage

recode_rename(
  input,
  codes,
  filter = TRUE,
  output = NULL,
  filenameRegex = ".*",
  outputPrefix = "",
  outputSuffix = "_rcRenamed",
  decisionLabel = NULL,
  justification = NULL,
  justificationFile = NULL,
  preventOverwriting = rock::opts$get("preventOverwriting"),
  encoding = rock::opts$get("encoding"),
  silent = rock::opts$get("silent")
)

Arguments

input

One of 1) a character string specifying the path to a file with a source; 2) an object with a loaded source as produced by a call to load_source(); 3) a character string specifying the path to a directory containing one or more sources; 4) or an object with a list of loaded sources as produced by a call to load_sources().

codes

A named character vector with codes to rename. Each element should be the new code, and the element's name should be the old code (so e.g. codes = c(oldcode1 = 'newcode1', oldcode2 = 'newcode2')).

filter

Optionally, a filter to apply to specify a subset of the source(s) to process (see get_source_filter()).

output

If specified, the recoded source(s) will be written here.

filenameRegex

Only process files matching this regular expression.

outputPrefix, outputSuffix

The prefix and suffix to add to the filenames when writing the processed files to disk, in case multiple sources are passed as input.

decisionLabel

A description of the (recoding) decision that was taken.

justification

The justification for this action.

justificationFile

If specified, the justification is appended to this file. If not, it is saved to the justifier::workspace(). This can then be saved or displayed at the end of the R Markdown file or R script using justifier::save_workspace().

preventOverwriting

Whether to prevent overwriting existing files when writing the files to output.

encoding

The encoding to use.

silent

Whether to be chatty or quiet.

Value

Invisibly, the changed source(s) or source(s) object.

Examples

### Get path to example source
examplePath <-
  system.file("extdata", package="rock");

### Get a path to one example file
exampleFile <-
  file.path(examplePath, "example-1.rock");

### Load example source
loadedExample <- rock::load_source(exampleFile);

### Move two codes to a new parent, showing progress
recoded_source <-
  rock::recode_rename(
    loadedExample,
    codes=c(childCode2 = "grownUpCode2",
            grandchildCode2 = "almostChildCode2"),
    silent=FALSE
  );
