Dear all,
I am trying to use "sub" to replace patterns in a character array that
contains german names with german special characters. I have the following
problem:
> sub("\\xdf","ss","Wei\xdferitzkreis")
Error in sub(pattern, replacement, x, ignore.case, extended, fixed,
useBytes) :
input string 1 is invalid in this locale
> sub("\xdf","ss","Wei\xdferitzkreis")
Error in sub(pattern, replacement, x, ignore.case, extended, fixed,
useBytes) :
'pattern' is invalid in this locale
Does anybody know how to tackle this problem ?
thanks a lot!!
Marco
