parse_labels function

Parse labels from REDCap metadata into usable formats

Takes a string separated by ,s and/or |s (i.e. comma/tab separated values) containing key value pairs (raw and label) and returns a tidy tibble.

parse_labels(string, return_vector = FALSE, return_stripped_text_flag = FALSE)

Arguments

• string: A db_metadata$select_choices_or_calculations field pre-filtered for checkbox field_type
• return_vector: logical for whether to return result as a vector
• return_stripped_text_flag: logical for whether to return a flag indicating whether or not text was stripped from labels

Returns

A tidy tibble from a matrix giving raw and label outputs to be used in later functions if return_vector = FALSE, the default. Otherwise a vector result in a c(raw = label) format to use with dplyr::recode

Details

The associated string comes from metadata outputs.
