Dear list,
I am trying to replace Unicode notation of German and Spanish special
characters (as read in by read.csv from excel spreadsheets) by
character strings that can be interpreted by LaTeX.
E.g.:
uni2latex <- function(x){
x <- gsub("&", "et", x, fixed = TRUE)
# Deutsch
x <- gsub("\u0080", "\\\"A", x, fixed = TRUE)
x <- gsub("\u008a", "\\\"a", x, fixed = TRUE)
x <- gsub("\u0085", "\\\"O", x, fixed = TRUE)
x <- gsub("\u009a", "\\\"o", x, fixed = TRUE)
x <- gsub("\u0086", "\\\"U", x, fixed = TRUE)
x <- gsub("\u009f", "\\\"u", x, fixed = TRUE)
x <- gsub("§", "\\ss{}", x, fixed = TRUE)
# Español
x <- gsub("\u0084", "\\~N", x, fixed = TRUE)
x <- gsub("\u0096", "\\~n", x, fixed = TRUE)
x <- gsub("ç", "\\\'A", x, fixed = TRUE)
x <- gsub("\u0087", "\\\'a", x, fixed = TRUE)
x <- gsub("\u0083", "\\\'E", x, fixed = TRUE)
x <- gsub("\u008e", "\\\'e", x, fixed = TRUE)
x <- gsub("ę", "\\\'I", x, fixed = TRUE)
x <- gsub("\u0092", "\\\'i", x, fixed = TRUE)
x <- gsub("î", "\\\'O", x, fixed = TRUE)
x <- gsub("\u0097", "\\\'o", x, fixed = TRUE)
x <- gsub("ň", "\\\'U", x, fixed = TRUE)
x <- gsub("\u009c", "\\\'u", x, fixed = TRUE)
x
}
This function works fine for me if I source from a file, but if I try
to include it into a package, the package cannot be installed:
"Error in parse(n = -1, file = file) : invalid \uxxxx sequence (line
835)"
(1) Why is there a difference between sourcing and package installation?
(2) How can I fix this?
(3) Perhaps there is a more reasonable way for doing this?
I am using R_2.7.1.
