Change player names

Source: R/cleaning_names.R
remap_player_names.Rd

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.

Usage

remap_player_names(x, remap)

Arguments

x

datavolley: a datavolley object as returned by dv_read, or list of such objects

remap

data.frame: data.frame of strings with columns team, from, and to

Value

A datavolley object or list with corresponding player names changed

                                        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))
