Hello all,
I upgraded from R 1.8.1 to 1.9.0 (Windows XP), and spotted an odd thing.
The last three letters in the Swedish alphabet are å, ä and ö. (In case they don't
show correctly: they are a with a ring, a with two dots, and o with two dots (HTML:
å ä ö).
When I use these as variable names in a data.frame, odd things happen:
In R 1.8.1, å (å) doesn't work while the others do.
In R 1.9.0, ö (ö) doesn't work while the others do.
Please find examples below. It would be nice if all three could be used in variable
names. At least in Sweden :-)
Thanks...
Sixten.
