Usage

appendNR(x, y, rmDuplicate = TRUE, silent = FALSE, callFrom = NULL)

Arguments

x

(vector or list) must have names to allow checking for duplicate names in y

y

(vector or list) must have names to allow checking for duplicate names in x

rmDuplicate

(logical) avoid duplicating liste-elements present in both x and y (based on names of list-elements)

silent

(logical) suppress messages

callFrom

When setting the argument rmDuplicate=FALSE the function will behave like append.

Value

If both x and y are vectors, the output will be a vector, otherwise it will be a list
