\title{Make a list of strings unique}

\usage{

rename_duplicates(names)

}

\arguments{

\item{names}{List of strings where duplicates should be renamed}

}

\value{

List where duplicates are renamed.

}

\description{

It might happen that there are duplicated strings in a list. With this

function we will rename those duplicated entries in a way that we simply add

the number of occurrences to the string. I.e., when the string foo occurs

three times in a list, it will be renamed to foo_1, foo_2, and foo_3,

respectively.

}

\examples{

l <- c("foo", "bar", "foo", "bars")

rename_duplicates(l)
