similar to: R CMD BATCH: set locale?

Hi I need for a specific application to change the locale of R 2.9.2 in Ubuntu 9.04. Trying the example in ?Sys.setlocale: Sys.setlocale("LC_TIME", "de_DE.utf8") [1] "" Warning message: In Sys.setlocale("LC_TIME", "de_DE.utf8") : la requ?te OS pour sp?cifier la localisation ?

Hello I recently submitted an update of a package, and received error reports from CRAN maintainers concerning the pkg/tests section: > Next time you update, can you please ensure that the .Rout.save files > are generated in English (with LANGUAGE=en set).

Dear R devel list I was wondering whether zip() contains a windows specific call to system(), as the argument "invisible" seems to be windows specific, yet is used anytime by zip: invisible(system2(zip, args, invisible = TRUE)) Indeed, calling zip() on Linux results in a warning message: > file.create("try") [1] TRUE > zip("try.zip", "try")

Dear All The "R CMD check" on the "zoo" (1.7-11) package results in an error on my environment. It can be reduced to the following example: ---------------------------------------------------- > require(zoo) > read.zoo(system.file("doc", "demo1.txt", package = "zoo"), sep = "|", format="%d %b %Y") Error in

<I was not sure if this should go to R-devel or R-help. If I e-mailed this to the wrong place, please let me know.> Hello dear R-devel members, I came by an oddity, with regards to how character variables are being transformed when they are in Hebrew, and when Sys.setlocale is changed. Here is an example: # first, let's set the locale to Hebrew Sys.setlocale("LC_ALL",

make fullcheck fails on my computer: flac cannot recognize --skip option that contains decimal point, e.g. "--skip=1.234". System locale uses comma as a separator, so strtod/atof expect comma, not point, and "make fullcheck" fails. Here's what I can see in FLAC source code: atof() function found in: file: src/share/grabbag/seektable.c function:

Hi all, I'd like to discuss a infelicity/possible bug with gsub. Take the following function: f <- function(x) { gsub("\u{A0}", " ", gsub(" ", "\u{A0}", x)) } As you might expect, in utf-8 locales it is idempotent: Sys.setlocale("LC_ALL", "UTF-8") f("x y") # [1] "x y" But in the C locale it is not:

WinXP-x32, R-21.13.0 Dear list, I have a problem that (I think) relates to the interaction between Windows and R. I am trying to scrape a table with data on the Hawai'ian Islands, This is my code: library(XML) u <- "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaii" tables <- readHTMLTable(u) Islands <- tables[[5]] The output is (first set of columns):

Related to the following question on Stackoverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44723690/unexpected-behavior-of-sys-setlocale#44723690 It appears as if Sys.setlocale() does not update LC_TIME correctly for use in date formatting. Although R reports that LC_TIME is changed to the new setting after use of Sys.setlocale(), as.Date() still uses the old settings. The only way to update this is

Inspired by this old Stack Overflow question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19765610/when-does-locale-affect-rs-regular-expressions I was wondering why this is TRUE: Sys.setlocale("LC_ALL", "et_EE") grepl("[A-Z]", "T") TRE's documentation at <https://laurikari.net/tre/documentation/regex-syntax/> says that a range "is shorthand for

Windows (MSVC, MinGW) version of setlocale don't care about LC_* environment variables. For example, flac cannot pass the test for --until and --skip options the script calls it with --skip=0:01.1001 and it expects decimal comma (--skip=0:01,1001) on my system. One solution is to write a local version of strtod that always accepts both decimal comma and decimal point. Another solution is not

Hi Since I believe 3.6, there is a message when loading a package that overwrites S3 methods, reading like "Registered S3 method overwritten by...". Should this message be included in the xxx.Rout.save files saved in the tests/ folder of a package? It seems R CMD check is not happy about it? I simply ran R CMD BATCH xxx.R xxx.Rout.save but running later on R CMD check on the package

Thank you. The line of code you give certainly resolves several of the issues. I didn't realize that font support is such a tough matter to realize.

Hello I looked on the archives but did not find answer for that... Running R CMD check for a package, i get an error: Error in parse(n = -1, file = file) : unexpected symbol at 3341: } But how can I find which file is guilty? What is this 3342 referring to? Finally the solution I found is to source() every file until I find the file where the problem is... Is there some better way to do it?

Hola, otra vez a vueltas con los UTF8, seguro que es un tema sempiterno de esta lista y que ya se ha contestado, regannadme por ello (y por escribir sin acentos).

Cargo el .rda con load y nada, los acentos a la porra. Vamos, que
