R 3.0.2
OS X
Colleagues,
I know little about encoding so please be patient with this question. I have a
CSV file created from a SAS7BDAT dataset (using Shotwell's SAS7BDAT package).
In the CSV file, when opened with XL, one entry reads as:
¸æçñàºmol/L
When I read this into R, that entry becomes:
\U3e35623cmol/L
I assume (perhaps naively) that this is a recoding. Whenever this occurs, I
would like to use "sub" to replace the first portion of the string with micro
(so the entire string reads micromol/L). However, when I use grep to identify
presence of the string, R does not appear to detect it consistently. Perhaps I
am not escaping things correctly or perhaps my understanding of this encoding
is flawed.
Can anyone provide some useful pointers here?
