I get the same results (not working) using R 2.9.2 and R.10.0 beta.
Thank you for looking at this.

So they are different.

I use R 2.8.1 on WinXP
But that's ancient. Please try again with the beta of 2.10.0, and let us
know if you still see a problem.

Hello,
Below is some output that shows my issue.
I have a variable x that I read from a file (more on this below)
x
[1] "NEW YORK NEW ENGLAND"
gsub(" -", "-", x) # this does not work!
[1] "NEW YORK NEW ENGLAND"
It looks as though it worked, presumably because something got lost in
your email.
Could you post charToRaw(x) so we can see what's in x?
Duncan Murdoch
Encoding(x) # is x in a special encoding? no
[1] "unknown"
y = "NEW YORK -NEW ENGLAND" # I type in variable y
gsub(" -", "-", y) # and gsub works as expected
[1] "NEW YORK-NEW ENGLAND"
I'm sure the problem has to do with the way I read the variable x. But
even if I change the encoding for x to ASCII, I still cannot do the sub.
I get x by reading a pdf file with pdftotext so you will not be able to
replicate my issue.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Adrian
