An extended version of pmatch()
that allows x
to be
numeric or string-based. As with pmatch()
, partial string
matches are handled.
This is a wrapper that is useful mainly for which
arguments to
plotting functions.
ocePmatch(x, table, nomatch = NA_integer_, duplicates.ok = FALSE)
a code, or vector of codes. This may be numeric, in which case it
is simply returned without further analysis of the other arguments, or it
may be string-based, in which case pmatch()
is used to find
numeric matches.
a list that maps strings to numbers; pmatch()
is
used on names(table)
. If the name contains characters that are
normally not permitted in a variable name, use quotes, e.g.
list(salinity=1, temperature=2, "salinity+temperature"=3)
.
value to be returned for cases of no match (passed to
pmatch()
.
code for the handling of duplicates (passed to
pmatch()
).
A number, or vector of numbers, corresponding to the matches.
Non-matches are indicated with NA
values, or whatever value is given
by the NA
argument.
Since pmatch()
is used for the actual matching, its
documentation should be consulted.
