<p>This tries to find a column name in a data set based on information from the <ahref="antibiotics.html">antibiotics</a> data set. Also supports WHONET abbreviations.</p>
<dd><p>a text to search <code>x</code> for, will be checked with <code><ahref="as.ab.html">as.ab()</a></code> if this value is not a column in <code>x</code></p></dd>
<dt>verbose</dt>
<dd><p>a <ahref="https://rdrr.io/r/base/logical.html"class="external-link">logical</a> to indicate whether additional info should be printed</p></dd>
<dt>only_rsi_columns</dt>
<dd><p>a <ahref="https://rdrr.io/r/base/logical.html"class="external-link">logical</a> to indicate whether only antibiotic columns must be detected that were transformed to class <code><rsi></code> (see <code><ahref="as.rsi.html">as.rsi()</a></code>) on beforehand (defaults to <code>FALSE</code>)</p></dd>
<p>You can look for an antibiotic (trade) name or abbreviation and it will search <code>x</code> and the <ahref="antibiotics.html">antibiotics</a> data set for any column containing a name or code of that antibiotic. <strong>Longer columns names take precedence over shorter column names.</strong></p>
The <ahref="lifecycle.html">lifecycle</a> of this function is <strong>stable</strong>. In a stable function, major changes are unlikely. This means that the unlying code will generally evolve by adding new arguments; removing arguments or changing the meaning of existing arguments will be avoided.</p>
<p>If the unlying code needs breaking changes, they will occur gradually. For example, an argument will be deprecated and first continue to work, but will emit a message informing you of the change. Next, typically after at least one newly released version on CRAN, the message will be transformed to an error.</p>
