replace_word_elongations creates NAs

[erhard1]

I was doing some text clean up with replace_word_elongations and ran into a case where the phrase "AAA battery" caused all word elongation matches to become NA. I modified the example from the help file to show the situation:

x <- c('look', 'noooooo!', 'real coooool!', "it's sooo goooood", 'fsdfds',
'fdddf', 'as', "aaaahahahahaha", "aabbccxccbbaa", 'I said heyyy!',
"I'm liiiike whyyyyy me?", "Wwwhhatttt!", "AAA battery")

replace_word_elongation(x)
[1] "look" NA NA NA "fsdfds" NA "as" NA
[9] "aabbccxccbbaa" NA NA NA NA

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. I have been pleased with how the textclean package has been working so far.

Assuming you are using the CRAN version, I wanted to let you know that this issue should be solved after the last commit: 5443d74.

You can install the latest version using pacman package:

pacman::p_load_gh(
    "trinker/lexicon",    
    "trinker/textclean"
)

Or using remotes package:

remotes::install_github("trinker/textclean", force = TRUE)

Yes, I am using the current version on CRAN. I will give that new commit a try. The work around I used was to transform all the text to lower case. That resolved the issue I was having wit moved case.
