merge VariableCode and Unit, use '<', '>' or '=' as CensorCode

simplifyColumns(x, short.codes = TRUE)

Arguments

x

data frame with columns VariableCode, UnitsAbbreviation, CensorCode
short.codes

if TRUE (default) the censor codes are renamed: "lt" -> "<"; "gt" -> ">"; "nc" -> ""

Examples

x <- data.frame(VariableCode = c("A", "B"),
                UnitsAbbreviation = c("mg/l", "ug/l"),
                CensorCode = c("lt", "nc"))

simplifyColumns(x)

#>   VariableCode UnitsAbbreviation CensorCode
#> 1       A_mg/l              mg/l          <
#> 2       B_ug/l              ug/l
