name.change: renaming a vector by adding zeros

Description

This function is a very simple function to rename a vector that was named wrong and zeros were not added by mistake, i.e.:

x <- c("P1","P9","P10","P99","P187")

but the user desires the a vector of the form:

x <- c("P001","P009","P010","P099","P187")

this function does that simple task.

Usage

name.change(x, separ="P", maxn=999)

Arguments

x

a character vector with the names.

separ

a character argument indicating what comes before the numbers that need to be corrected.

maxn

maximum number of individual-label found in the vector. This will be important for the function to know how many zeros should be added.

Examples

x <- c("P1","P9","P10","P99","P187")
## try adding zeros by indicating that 999 could be the max number
name.change(x, sep="P",maxn=999)
name.change(x, sep="P",maxn=9999)
