A player name can sometimes be spelled incorrectly, particularly if there are character encoding issues. This can be a particular problem when combining data from multiple files. A player matching the team
and from
name entries in a row in remap
is renamed to the corresponding to
value. Alternatively, remap
can be provided with the columns player_id
and player_name
: all player name entries associated with a given player_id
will be changed to the associated player_name
.
Examples
if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
x <- dv_read(dv_example_file(), insert_technical_timeouts = FALSE)
x <- remap_player_names(x, data.frame(team = c("Nova KBM Branik", "Braslovče"),
from = c("ELA PINTAR", "KATJA MIHALINEC"),
to = c("Ela PINTAR", "Katja MIHALINEC"),
stringsAsFactors = FALSE))
x <- remap_player_names(x, data.frame(player_id = c("id1", "id2"),
player_name = c("name to use 1", "name to use 2"),
stringsAsFactors = FALSE))
} # }
