Remove NAs in Strings for Figure Titles and Axis Labels

Returns a vector of string(s) that removes common NA strings found in columns such as TADA.ComparableDataIdentifier. Can also accommodate handling of certain NA texts found in any general character string or a vector of strings.

Usage

TADA_CharStringRemoveNA(char_string)

Arguments

char_string

Character argument. Could be a single string or vector of strings that contains common "NA" strings (ex: "(NA", "(NA)", "_NA", etc.)

Value

A vector string that has removed NAs from its value.

Details

This function is meant as an internal function to remove NAs from figure titles and axis labels for the TADA package.

Examples

# Removes NAs based on each TADA.ComparableDataIdentifier found in a dataset.
