Sorry all,

for not posting a minimal example. I am running R on Mac OS X snow leopard with Komodo edit / Sciviews-R. The problem is that the code does not work any more if there is an umlaut in my R code. The error message is some strange mixture of german and english, so this what the error message is supposed to look like: "Invalid multibyte character in Parser line 195" . Allan´s example works as a standalone, with his code I get the following error message. Maybe this is a mac problem ...

Error in parse(text = chunk) :
 Unexptected entry in "x <- data.frame(GeschÂ"


I ran Allan Englehart's example and got the expected result on R 2.11.1 with Mac OS 10.5.8.

Seems possible that this is specific to Komodo Edit/Sciviews-R. I tried getting that editor/system to work as an editing environment a year ago and formed the opinion that there were too many got-cha's in the specification of options and user environments. I gave up and went back to a less complex (and in my hands, less fragile) strategy. I would take your question to whatever support site is available for Sciviews-R. (I suppose it could be a Leopard vs Snow Leopard issue, but do not have the resources to investigate.)

A standalone example is always helpful. The following works for me, so I am probably not understanding your problem:

---[BEGIN: umlaut.Rnw]---
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{ucs}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}

\begin{document}

<<test,echo=TRUE>>=
x <- data.frame(Geschäftslage=1:10)
summary(x)
@
\end{document}
---[END: umlaut.Rnw]---

$ R CMD Sweave umlaut.Rnw
$ R CMD pdflatex umlaut.tex
$ gnome-open umlaut.pdf

Dear all,

I use Sweave to create my reports. Unfortunately my script crashes whenever I my R code contains special characters like umlauts. Is there a way to to escape special characters in Sweave... This is the line that crashes Sweave:

gl_bybranch = ddply(new_wans,.(period,Branchen), function(X) data.frame(Geschäftslage=mean(X$sentiment)))

Unfortunately I can't just rename it, because I it´s displayed in the legend of graphics later on.

Thx for any suggestions!

best

matt
