Format labels for wells in microwell plates to equal widths

equateWellLabelWidth(wells)

Arguments

wells

A vector of character strings indicating well positions, they may be of different widths, for instance A1, A10, A12

Value

A vector of the same length, with all labels adjusted to the equal width, with left-padding zeros added whenever it makes sense. If the input labels are already of the same length, no change is applied.

Examples

equateWellLabelWidth(c("A1", "C10", "D12"))
#> [1] "A01" "C10" "D12"
