Replace delimited string elements (case-insensitive and whitespace-trimmed)

For each string in x, applies OR.delim.split() and checks whether any delimited element matches one or more specified strings. Replaces any matching elements with a new string, removes duplicate elements, sorts elements alphabetically, and rejoins the elements using the same delimiter.

Usage

OR.delim.replace(x, match, replacement, delimiter = ",")

Arguments

x

String vector, matrix, or data frame containing delimited strings.

match

String vector of elements to match.

replacement

String delimited element replacement.

delimiter

String delimiter. Default = ",".

Value

A string vector or matrix with replaced delimited elements.
