Details

colNames takes a data frame as input and return either column names occuring once or multiple times. Matching is done by the 'base name' (the substring to the left of the last period, if any). The return type is a string vector by default, or a single string of colum names separated by a string 'concatenate' (see 'collapse' in paste for details).
