similar to: R 1.9.0, special characters in variable names.

Hi everyone, I''ve encountered a HUGE problem, which may not be RoR-oriented, but there might be a workaround somehow. See, at this moment, I''m unable to send AJAX requests back and forth when the information contains an ampersand (''&''). In essence, request is never completed. The odd thing is that it only happens with Firefox (IE and Opera works fine).

Hi All. When translating a string to in swedish, using HTML codes for å,ä,ö i have a minor problem. Eg: (se.yaml) ui_core_over: Över All I get when calling l(''ui_core_over'') in my view is "Ouml;ver" The leeding & is missing, making the page look silly. The HTML characters works fine as long as it''s not used as the first letter in the string.

Dear list members, This is a question is about building an R package under windows and cygwin. Please bear with me. I have a package in R that compiles well on my stationary computer (WINDOWS NT, R 1.8.1 and prior), and the resulting (package_version).zip file works well there. It contains an R script file and a C file. After installing tools to build the package on my laptop, the package

Hi! Just started to learn Rails, and I get this error when i''m trying to make a simple forum-app (much like the screencast about making a blog in 15min at rubyonrails.org). This appears when I try to render a partial - that is posting a comment containing swedish letters å (å), ä (ä) and ö (ö). I can view those posts by going to localhost:3000/posts/ using

Summary: The locale setting in the operating system seems to be involved in what confused me a little bit. Thank you all for your help, especially the suggested work-around data.frame(..., check.names=F) which works very well. A mystery still to be solved is why two versions of R, running on the same machine on the same time, behaves differently. Please do not respond to this on the list. I

I try to find an function to convert characters in html chars. "é" become "é" There is something in RoR 1.0 to do that ?

In "An Introduction to R" (See R help menu), there is an example of a function 'open.account' that makes use of the lexical scope in R. I have a set of functions that can be used to output R tables and graphics into a single report document. (I am aware that several tools can do this already). While reorganizing my code, I realize that I can collect my functions in a list, in

I have a txt file (attached) that defines equivalents among characters in latin1 (or iso-8859-1), numeric &#xxx; codes, HTML entities and latex equivalents. A portion of the file is shown inline below, but may not be rendered well in this email. I'd like to read this into R to use as a character translation table, but am stuck on two things: - The 5 fields in the file are

I am trying to put an ouml in an .Rd file with no success. Writing R Extensions suggests: Text which might need to be represented differently in different encodings should be marked by |\enc|, e.g. |\enc{J??reskog}{Joreskog}| where the first argument will be used where encodings are allowed and the second should be ASCII (and is used for e.g. the text conversion). (Above may get mangled by

Hello, I have trouble converting a character string to a R object. Let me describe this by an example; > dim(a) [1] 270 14 > dim("a") NULL > names(a) [1] "Var1" "Var2" "Var3" "Var4" "Var5" "Var6" "Var7" "Var8" "Var9" [10] "Var10" "Var11" "Var12"

I''m using Ferret on a Swedish website and I get some unexpected behaviour on searches containing the swedish charchters ???. An exampel, if I index a string "Varf?r fungerar det inte" ("Why doesnt it work" in swedish) and search for "f?r" I''ll get one (1) match. The expected behaviour would be no matches since ''f?r'' is part of

Hi, Splus allows pasting a graphics object into the plotting window, which makes it possible to do what you describe below. Now I use R which doesn't seem to allow pasting the picture into the graphics window, so I copy the graph onto a transparency sheet, and stick it onto my screen using tape. The coordinates need to be converted to make sense (as you describe). My methodology with the

Hello all, I have a data frame in R, imported from an excel file in Swedish. The original file contains several columns that have special characters, such as \¨{a}, \¨{o}, and so on. After import such special characters are represented in the data frame by "\\345", "\\366" etc (don't ask me why). For example, a word "Hårkan" becomes ''H\\345rkan".

Dear list, I would like to simulate individual survival times from a model that has been fitted using the survreg procedure (library survival). Output shown below. My plan is to extract the shape and scale arguments for use with rweibull() since my error terms are assumed to be Weibull, but it does not make any sense. The mean survival time is easy to predict, but I would like to simulate

I am trying to compile the R-dev sources on WinXP using mingw 3.1.0-1 and fpTeX 0.7. In the past I have been able to build the sources fine but now I receive an error in the process that I havent seen reported on the list before. Everything works fine until I get to 'make docs'. I now get the message below while building the R-admin manual (refman.pdf builds fine) and the make process

Full_Name: James Michael Rath Version: all (I think) OS: doesn't matter Submission from: (NULL) (129.116.226.162) The code for pnorm in R was adapted from a Fortran library published in the ACM TOMS journal. The published version had a typographical error, though, which was pointed out in a second article published three years after the original. The error was that a macro/variable named

Hi, I have a question about special character: when I create a data frame including some special characters, like '?', it displayed as '<U+00F8>'. I understand that it's one encoding code for '?'. but I want to display the letter as '?' on my screen. And more, when I save the data frame to a local position, it was also save as the encoding code

Hi all samba coders. Glad to see that you work to improve samba. Here is a problem I would be very greatful if you could solve. Certain international characters does not work as usernames when trying to log in to an NT4 file server. My problem is that in Swedish versions of NT the "Administrator" username is translated and reads "Administrat?r". It seams that the
