)

Arguments

df: a data.frame

x = data.frame("name with space"=1, TwoWords=1, "total $ (2009)"=1, àccénts=1,
               check.names=FALSE)
cleaned = clean_names_with_labels(x, except=TwoWords)
cleaned %>% names()
#> [1] "name_with_space" "TwoWords"        "total_2009"      "accents"        
cleaned %>% get_label()
#>   name_with_space          TwoWords        total_2009           accents 
#> "name with space"        "TwoWords"  "total $ (2009)"         "àccénts"
