similar to: readLines interaction with gsub different in R-dev

| Confirmed for R-devel (current) on Ubuntu 17.10. But ... isn't the regexp | you use wrong, ie isn't R-devel giving the correct answer? No, I don't think R-devel is correct (or at least consistent with the documentation). My interpretation of gsub("(\\w)", "\\U\\1", entry, perl = TRUE) is "Take every word character and replace it with itself, converted to

I think the problem in R-devel happens when there are non-ASCII characters in any of the strings passed to gsub. txt <- vapply(list(as.raw(c(0x41, 0x6d, 0xc3, 0xa9, 0x6c, 0x69, 0x65)), as.raw(c(0x41, 0x6d, 0x65, 0x6c, 0x69, 0x61))), rawToChar, "") txt #[1] "Am?lie" "Amelia" Encoding(txt) #[1] "unknown" "unknown" gsub(perl=TRUE,

Recent functionality in jsonlite allows for streaming json to a user supplied connection object, such as a file, pipe or socket. RFC7159 prescribes json must be encoded as unicode; ISO-8859 (including latin1) is invalid. Hence I would like R to write strings as utf8, irrespective of the type of connection, platform or locale. Implementing this turns out to be unsurprisingly difficult on windows.

Dear all, I'm trying to write a post_processor() for a custom rmarkdown format. The goal of the post_processor() is to modify the latex file before it is compiled. For some reason the post_processor() is not run. The post_processor() does work when I run it manually on the tex file. Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong? Below is the relevant snippet of the code. The full code is

Of course, right after writing this e-mail I tested on my Windows machine and did not see what I expected: > charToRaw(before) [1] c3 a9 > charToRaw(after) [1] e9 so obviously I'm misunderstanding something as well.

I think this behavior is inconsistent with the documentation: tmp <- '?' tmp <- iconv(tmp, to = 'UTF-8') print(Encoding(tmp)) print(charToRaw(tmp)) tmpfilepath <- tempfile() writeLines(tmp, con = file(tmpfilepath, encoding = 'UTF-8'), useBytes = TRUE) [1] "UTF-8" [1] c3 a9 Raw text as hex: c3 83 c2 a9 If I switch to useBytes = FALSE, then

Are you sure that you want to read in the output_file in text <- readLines(output_file, warn = FALSE)? best regards, Heinz Thierry Onkelinx wrote/hat geschrieben on/am 06.09.2017 11:41: > Dear all, > > I'm trying to write a post_processor() for a custom rmarkdown format.

Dear Duncan, Thanks for chiming in. Could you explain how you set debug() on post_processor()? I've tried adding debug(post_processor) to rsos_article() or adding debug(post_processor) when after post_processor was defined in the debugger. Neither work for me. All supporting files are available within the package. The code below should be reproducible on your machine.

Dear R-devel When 'install.packages' runs, it updates all html files in all packages. Mostly, there seems to be no actual change to the html file contents, but the date/time does change. This has causing been me a bit of trouble, because I keep synchronized versions of R on several different machines, and whenever I install a package, many MB of file transfers are required; my slow upload

Dear R developers, I am developing an R package which returns strings with new line codes. I am not sure if I should use "\r\n" or "\n" in my returned strings on Windows platforms. What is the recommended best practice for package developers (and code in base R) for coding new lines in strings? And just out of curiosity: What is the reason (or history) for preferring

Not working for me either right now for some reason

Hi all, Does any one know of any encryption/decryption algorithms in R? I'm not looking for anything robust - I want some way of printing output to the screen that the user can't read immediately, but can decrypt a little later. The main thing I don't want to the user to see is a number, so (e.g.) ROT13 isn't appropriate. Hadley -- Assistant Professor / Dobelman Family Junior

Dear developeRs, I thought that backslashes can be escaped in the usual way (and I think I did this before) but I can't see why R> gsub("\\", "x", "\alpha") Error in gsub(pattern, replacement, x, ignore.case, extended, fixed, useBytes) : invalid regular expression '\' gives an error. Or am I just blind? Best, Torsten R> version

That is strange. Another function in the same package (INBOmd::inbo_rapport) uses the same trick. I actually started by copying the post_processor() from that function. INBOmd::inbo_rapport() works both with and without BibTex. Working examples are source/inbo_rapport and source/inbo_rapport_basic from https://github.com/inbo/inbomd_examples. Note that you need some extra work after installing

Hi I'm having trouble sourcing or parsing a UTF-8 file that contains characters that are not representable in the current locale ("foreign characters") on Windows. The source() function stops with an error, the parse() function reencodes all foreign characters using the <U+xxxx> notation. I have added a reproducible example below the message. This seems well within the

Hi, I am reading a large space-delimited text file into R (41 columns and many rows) and need to do run each row's values through another R object and then write to another text file. So, far using readLines and writeLines seems to be the best bet. I've gotten the data exchange working except each row is read in as one 'chunk', meaning the row has all values between two quotes

You don't say, but I'd guess you're using Windows. In your code page, the character ? is probably not representable. At some point in the sequence of operations involved in printing the dataframe R puts the string into the native encoding, and since that's impossible on your system, it substitutes the <c5> instead. The fact that you can sometimes display it is because
