Empty list (select_taxa) #63

Closed ShawanChowdhury closed 3 years ago

ShawanChowdhury commented 3 years ago

I was cross-checking EPBC listed species with the ALA data using the 'select_taxa()' function. It worked for other species list (e.g., weeds of national significance) but I obtained an empty list for the EPBC listed species.

galah version 1.1.0

To Reproduce threatened_list <- fread("EPBC_list.csv") threatened_ala <- select_taxa(threatened_list$scientific_name)

Hi @ShawanChowdhury, can you provide the EPBC list here?

ShawanChowdhury commented 3 years ago

Here it is. EPBC_list.xlsx

matildastevenson commented 3 years ago

select_taxa is assuming that a list of identifiers, rather than scientific names, has been provided because there are numeric characters in some rows. If you remove the numbers it should work as expected

This will be addressed in #64
