Range standardization (0 to 1) in R [duplicate]

scale a series between two points in R

Does any know of an R function to perform range standardization on a vector? I'm looking to transform variables to a scale between 0 and 1, while retaining rank order and the relative size of separation between values.

Just to be clear, i'm not looking to standardize variables by mean centering and scaling by the SD, as is done in the function scale().

I tried the functions mmnorm() and rangenorm() in the package 'dprep', but these don't seem to do the job.

Adding ... will allow you to pass through na.rm = T if you want to omit missing values from the calculation (they will still be present in the results):

range01 <- function(x, ...){(x - min(x, ...)) / (max(x, ...) - min(x, ...))}
