simplifyBeta does not work with special characters in sample names #73

Closed aimirza closed 3 years ago

aimirza commented 3 years ago

After removing special characters from my sample names, simplifyBeta() finally stops producing the error:

Error: Can't subset columns that don't exist.
x Columns `A-1-PT-06_S11`, `A-2-PT-04_S16`, `A-3-PT-05_S4`, `A-4-PT-02_S15`, `A-5-PT-02_S14`, etc. don't exist.

I removed all of the underscores and dashes and it finally worked. Would be nice if simplifyBeta() can work with special characters

Hi @aimirza, I'm working on this issue but having trouble reproducing your error. Could you please provide a minimal working example of sample names that are throwing this error? Thank you for identifying this!

Actually, if this is the same error that Mike is showing in this pull request https://github.com/adw96/DivNet/pull/62 I can work with his example.

Non-standard characters in sample names will be flagged in order to prevent potential future conflicts with R operations/functions.
