Dear all, Somewhat related to a question that I posted a while ago (see https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-package-devel/2021q4/007540.html), once I've got a dataframe in my cache, some of the functions need to use some of the variables. It turns out that some of the columns contain UTF-8 characters, and therefore I need to be able to call `metadata$variable.with.áccénts`.
But the package development checks warn me that no non-ASCII characters are allowed in the files "checking R files for non-ASCII characters ... WARNING". I have specified that the package uses UTF-8 in DESCRIPTION ("Encoding: UTF-8"). I have also defined "options(encoding = "UTF-8")" before calling the checks, but nothing seems to matter. I have also tried to give the proper UTF-8 codes, like in `metadata$variable.with.\u00e1cc\u00e9nts`, but with no luck either. Also it gives an error with "\uxxxx sequences not supported inside backticks". So which approach do you recommend? Is there any solution that I can use to call variables that use non-ASCII characters? Thank you very much. -- Xavier [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-package-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-package-devel
