Reading named regions fails, if there is a sheet name which is a substring of the name of the region #444

This issue is related to #340 but the solution to close it didn't fix all possible cases.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

  1. Create a Excel workbook with two sheets names "xx" and "yyy"

  2. In sheet "xx" create a named region with the name "yyy_dn" and put some values inside.

  3. Try to read the region with: openxlsx::read.xlsx(filename, colNames = FALSE, namedRegion = "yyy_dn")

  4. You'll get a warning, that no data was found. This is because, it tries to read it from the sheet yyy!

Solution

Replace readWorkbook.R lines 188 to 190 with something like the following (untested!): sheet <- sub("!.*$", "", region)

sessionInfo()
