decode.default

<p>length one character that is itself encoded</p>

encoding

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

Interconverts between ordered lists and compact string notation.
Useful for capturing code lists, and pair-wise codes and decodes, for text storage.
Analogous to factor levels and labels. Generics encode() and decode()
perform interconversion, while codes() and decodes() extract components of an encoding.
The function encoded() checks whether something is interpretable as an encoding.
If a vector has an encoded 'guide' attribute, as_factor() uses it to coerce to factor.
