Convert from-center information to a logical value

Part of Pedigree Curation

Usage

convertFromCenter(fromCenter)

Arguments

fromCenter

character or logical vector or NA indicating whether or not the animal is from the center.

Value

A logical vector specifying TRUE if an animal is from the center otherwise FALSE. An NA input stays NA. A value is read only when the whole text, ignoring case and any spaces around it, is y, yes, t or true (TRUE), or n, no, f or false (FALSE). Any other value, such as "unknown", "maybe", a number such as 1L or an empty string, stops with an error naming the offending rows.

Examples

original <- c(
  "y", "yes", "Y", "Yes", "YES", "n", "N", "No", "NO", "no",
  "t", "T", "True", "true", "TRUE", "f", "F", "false", "False",
  "FALSE"
)
convertFromCenter(original)
#>  [1]  TRUE  TRUE  TRUE  TRUE  TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE  TRUE  TRUE
#> [13]  TRUE  TRUE  TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE
