similar to: encoding question again

Hi, R Devils, I'm running the actual R version in JGR (version 1.5-8 ). Sys.getlocale(category = "LC_ALL") yields [1] "LC_COLLATE=German_Germany.1252;LC_CTYPE=German_Germany.1252;LC_MONETARY=German_Germany.1252;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=German_Germany.1252" I want to write some HTML-Code enhanced by statistical results and labels encoded in Latin-1, which I pass to a function.

Hello, Peter, I tried it out: iconv(names(attributes(spss[,'Y6'])[[1]][14]), "UTF-8", "LATIN1", sub='byte') yielded [1] "<c4>rzte Chirurgie" and c4 corresponds in most encodings to ?. What can I do next? I wonder whether there is a more comfortable way then to change the occurences of <..> by the adequate character. Regards, Matthias

I couldn't find out how the following to solve: There is a column in a data.frame: > d[, 'Y6'] [1] 6 3 8 11 8 9 6 8 3 5 10 15 NA 9 8 3 8 16 6 6 NA 10 5 2 7 7 6 16 7 15 7 10 12 8 7 12 12 16 7 6 8 8 15 6 [45] NA 8 99 7 12 8 9 16 7 16 8 7 7 1 15 12 8 7 10 7 8 7 8 9 8 6 6 8 6 16 11 5 11 11 1 11 3 7 7 10 10 10 6 11 [89] 16 NA

I have a question on how to set up usernames under Linux/NT so that our new Samba setup works properly. This is how our new system is going to work: DOMAIN "OB-GYN" "Alfred" -- Windows NT PDC (NT Server 4.0) User Profiles stored on this machine Since it's a PDC, it processes login requests Also WINS server

Dear R-List, I'm trying to read an UTF-8-encoded text file which works fine under ##################################################################### ### CONFIG 1 > sessionInfo() R version 2.12.1 (2010-12-16) Platform: i386-pc-mingw32/i386 (32-bit) locale: [1] LC_COLLATE=German_Germany.1252 LC_CTYPE=German_Germany.1252 [3] LC_MONETARY=German_Germany.1252 LC_NUMERIC=C

Dear all, I need to test for the existence of an index on a table. This cannot be done with sqlPrimaryKeys as it is not a primary key. Therefore I select directly from the systemtable of SQL-Server 2000 named sysindexes. This works well with RODBC Version 1.2-5 but not with version 1.3-0. Here is the code of the test example: sink(file = "proto.txt", append = FALSE, type =

Dear list, I have a balance connected to the serial port of a windows machine ("COM1") and I read the text output of the balance with scan("COM1", what="character", sep="\n", n=1) after calling the previous line I press the print key on the balance which triggers sending one line of text to the serial connection and with R 2.9.2 I get something like Read

Dear developers, I have come across a (somewhat strange) change in the encoding of Sweave output from R-2.9.2pat to R-2.10.0beta (apparently specific to Rgui) on Windows installations. Of course, the NEWS file contains quite a few changes concerning encoding, but I was not able to locate an entry which explains the observed behaviour. I am not very familiar with encodings/locales/codepages,

Dear list-member, I am currently developing a package with S4 classes. The NAMESPACE and DESCRIPTION is printed below. Within this package I have set a method "residuals" for two classes. In version 2.8.1 these two are reported whereas in R-Devel (2009-01-28 r47766). What have I missed? What has changed and how can I rectify the issue? Your help and pointers are welcome. For 2.8.1:

Dear R developers, I found a small issue while plotting contours of data containing both "usual" and "very small" numbers. It appeared with both R 3.0.1 and R-Devel on Windows, and I could reproduce it on Linux. Would it be possible to solve this before the upcoming release? Thanks a lot for developing this great software! Thomas Example: ######## set.seed(357) z1 <-

Certainly looks like one; I've cc'd this to the bug list (but won't be able to look into fixing it). Duncan Murdoch > > >> sessionInfo() > R

Dear list-subscriber, in the process of writing a general code snippet to extract coefficients in an expression (in the example below: 0.5 and -0.7), I stumbled over the following peculiar (at least peculiar to me:-) ) sorting behaviour of the function all.names(): > expr1 <- expression(x3 = 0.5 * x1 - 0.7 * x2) > all.names(expr1) [1] "-" "*" "x1"
