[R] problem with sub !
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!!
