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

\item{search_string}{a text to search \code{x} for}

\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 \code{\link{antibiotics}} data set. Also supports WHONET abbreviations. You can look for an antibiotic (trade) name or abbreviation and it will search the \code{data.frame} for any column containing a name or ATC code of that antibiotic.
