get_tsn addition: "no match"

[sckott]

When using get_tsn, sometimes the given options don't match your input. Perhaps you can add an option that is "none of the above", which will just insert a character string e.g, "no_match", so that you can continue on in case you are calling get_tsn in an apply call or for loop.

Do you have an example? - I'm not sure if I understand you right...

[sckott]

For example:

get_tsn("Dialictus", "sciname")

gives

Retrieving data for species ' Dialictus '


            combinedname    tsn
1        Glossodialictus 634134
2 Glossodialictus wittei 757658
3     Dialictus flavipes 760402

More than one TSN found for species ' Dialictus '!

          Enter rowname of species to take:

Dialictus is a subgenus now of Lasioglossum, so this may be a weird example, but I think this has happened in other cases. So in this case I would want to select option No. 4, which is "none of the above", cause if this was in a lapply type call, then I would have to start over if none of the options matched what I wanted.

Should be no problem, but I am currently quite busy :(

Thanks.

Commit cd43105 should fix this. If the User is asked for input, he/she can select the rownumber corresponding to the proper species. Any input diverging from the rownames will be treated as 'NA'
