\title{Guess antibiotic column}
\usage{
guess_ab_col(x = NULL, search_string = NULL, verbose = FALSE)
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{a \link{data.frame}}

\item{search_string}{a text to search \code{x} for, will be checked with \code{\link[=as.ab]{as.ab()}} if this value is not a column in \code{x}}

\item{verbose}{a logical to indicate whether additional info should be printed}
}
\value{
A column name of \code{x}, or \code{NULL} when no result is found.
}
\description{
This tries to find a column name in a data set based on information from the \link{antibiotics} data set. Also supports WHONET abbreviations.
}
\details{
You can look for an antibiotic (trade) name or abbreviation and it will search \code{x} and the \link{antibiotics} data set for any column containing a name or code of that antibiotic. \strong{Longer columns names take precendence over shorter column names.}

The \link[=lifecycle]{lifecycle} of this function is \strong{maturing}. The unlying code of a maturing function has been roughed out, but finer details might still change. Since this function needs wider usage and more extensive testing, you are very welcome \href{https://github.com/msberends/AMR/issues}{to suggest changes at our repository} or \link[=AMR]{write us an email (see section 'Contact Us')}.
