tidyName:

Description

Deletes in a character vector all the characters provided in fixes.

Usage

tidyName(x, fixes = c("_", ".", " ", "-", ">"),
            case = c("lower", "upper", "nochange"))

Arguments

x

the vector in which to make replacements

fixes

all characters to be replaced

case

change case to upper, lower, or make no changes

Value

A character vector of the same lenth as x, but with characters replaced

Details

This function currently uses no regular expressions or wildcards and is made deliberately very thorough, tedious even, as it cycles through all characters in turn.

Examples

nuttyName <- "Jimmy-Smith"
notNuttyName <- tidyName("Jimmy-Smith")
