Check whether a given string matches a specified pattern using regular expressions (regex).
The string is assumed to be a code (e.g., a SGIC), which should follow a predefined format.
Usage
inspect_characterid(code, pattern)
Arguments
- code
A character string containing a SGIC or similar code that should follow a predefined format.
- pattern
A character string specifying the expected pattern using regular expressions (regex).
The pattern defines the format `code` should match.
Value
A logical value: `TRUE` if the code matches the expected pattern, otherwise `FALSE`
Examples
inspect_characterid("ABC1234", "^[A-Za-z]{3}[0-9]{4}$") #TRUE - Matches the pattern
#> [1] TRUE
inspect_characterid("12DBG45FG", "^[A-Za-z]{3}[0-9]{4}$") #FALSE - Does not match the pattern
#> [1] FALSE
