Hello, All:
What would it take to make “iconv” portable?
I ask, because I want to convert accented characters to vanilla
ASCII, thereby converting, e.g., ‘Raúl’ to “Raul”, and Milan Bouchet-Valet
suggested on R-help that I use 'iconv(x, “", "ASCII//TRANSLIT”)’. This worked
under Windows but failed on Linux and Mac. It’s part of the
“subNonStandardCharacters” function in the Ecfun package. The development
version on R-Forge uses this and returns “Raul” under Windows and NA under Mac
OS X (and presumably also Linux).
The “iconv” R code merely calls compiled code, which I’ve used very
little in 30 years.
Thanks,
Spencer
