similar to: Strings from different locale

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:

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

Being italians when writing comments/instructions we use accented letters - like ?, ?, ?, etc.... when running R scripts using such characters I get and error saying: invalid multibyte character in parser I have been looking at the help and searched the r-help archives but I haven't find anything that I could intelligibly apply to my case. Can anyone suggest a fix for this error? Thanks,

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

Hi R developers: Congratulations for the new R 2.10.0 version. It is a huge effort! Thank you for your work and dedication. I just want to ask how to make this "strip blank" function to work again (it works on R.2.9.2). alumnos$AL_NUME_ID<-sub("(^ +)|( +$)","",alumnos$AL_NUME_ID),) "alumnos" is a data base with 900.000 rows and 72 columns. and

<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",

Hi I would like to change the locale when using R CMD BATCH. Usually, if I want to run it in english, for R in console/GUIs, I edit the .Rprofile file, adding: Sys.setlocale("LC_ALL","en_US.UTF8") Sys.setlocale("LC_MESSAGES","en_US.UTF8") But while this works for interactive R, it does not for R CMD BATCH. The problem is that running tests for a package,

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 I need for a specific application to change the locale of R 2.9.2 in Ubuntu 9.04.

I am trying, without success, to compile a custom locale for the utf-8 character set. I have issued this command: localedef --no-archive -f UTF-8 -i /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_CA at yyyy-mmm-dd en_CA at yyyy-mmm-dd.utf8 which produces the requisite files without reporting an error but which none-the-less insists on using the iso-8859-1 charset: LC_ALL=en_CA at yyyy-mm-dd locale charmap

Dear r-helpers, This is a little bit more of a Windows problem than an R problem, but ... any idea how to query the *available* locales from within R (or otherwise) on a Windows system? Teaching in a Spanish-language setting and would like to do something like Sys.setlocale("LC_TIME","en_US") (for example so that we can convert dates like "1970-jan-01" with

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

Hi, there´s something that really bothers me about R and after hours and hours of internet research, I´m still stuck with the same problem: I installed R and it is in Spanish, as the system on my work. I would really like it in English and there seems to be no way to change that!?! I´m doing an abroad internship, so my Spanish is far from perfect and my tutorial is in English. Is there any

Dear list: I know this may be an old question. I know how to install the packages to a different directory, for example, /home/zrl/tmp and I know how to load it >library("genefilter",lib.loc="/home/zrl/tmp") but I found some package(for example package A) will have to load some other packages as well, and this time package A will look for the package in the original
