r - 模糊匹配并从字符串向量中提取字符串以完成数据帧

Question

我有一个法语名字列表，有一些小的语法差异。

names <- c("Benoit", "Arnoud (son)", "Arnoud", "Arnous", "Archer, Patrice*", "Archer", "Archer (father)", "André" )

“Arnoud（儿子）”、“Arnoud”、“Arnous”所有这些名字都属于同一个家族。我希望能够创建一个数据框对象来按家庭对个人进行分组

people1           |people2 |people3  |people4|
"Benoit"          | NA     |NA       |NA
"Arnoud (son)",   |"Arnoud"|"Arnous" | NA
"Archer, Patrice*"|"Archer"| "Archer"|"Archer (father)"
"André"           | NA     | NA      |NA
