Usage

correctToUnique(
  x,
  sep = "_",
  atEnd = TRUE,
  maxIter = 4,
  NAenum = TRUE,
  silent = FALSE,
  callFrom = NULL
)

Arguments

x

input character vector

sep

(character) separator used when adding counter

atEnd

(logical) decide location of placing the counter (at end or at beginning of initial text)

maxIter

(numeric) max number of iterations

NAenum

(logical) if TRUE all NAs will be enumerated (NA_1,NA_2,...)

silent

(logical) suppress messages

callFrom

Value

This function returns a character vector

unique will simply remove repeated elements, ie length of 'x' won't remain constant, filtSizeUniq is more complex and slower, treatTxtDuplicates

Examples

correctToUnique(c("li0","n",NA,NA,rep(c("li2","li3"),2),rep("n",4)))
