Thanks. Once I have my cleaned up raw vector, I need to convert to
characters using the ebcdic code page. I could first convert it to
characters using rawToChar() (which will give me garbled ascii), and then
convert that to ebcdic using iconv(). If anyone knows of a more direct
solution, let me kno
Try using readBin and 'raw'
x <- readBin('yourFile', 'raw', n=1e6)
You can then scan 'x' and replace NULLs (I assume they are 0x00) with
whatever you want.
> str(x)
raw [1:10] 00 00 22 00 ...
> x
[1] 00 00 22 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
> x[x == as.raw(0)] <- as.raw(0xab)
> x
[1] ab ab 22 ab ab ab a
2 matches
