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.
Why? LaTeX can read UTF-8 if you tell it to.
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)"
And which line is that?
(1) Why is there a difference between sourcing and package installation?
Quite possibly. What locale are you using to install the package? Mac OS
X terminals seem to default to C.
(2) How can I fix this?
Set a proper locale.
(3) Perhaps there is a more reasonable way for doing this?
Yes, fix it in LaTeX.
I am using R_2.7.1.
