Hi
I came across this strange bug the other day, I'm not sure how to solve it
and I wonder if anyone can even replicate it.
Using OS Ubuntu 7.10
Step 1) Make an R package using the package.skeleton() command with
only these two functions:
error <- function(){
cmd <- paste(" -a ",1," -a ",1," -a ",1,
" -a ",1," -a ",1," -a ",1,
" -a ",1," -a ",1," -a ",1,
" -a ",1," -a ",1," -a ",1,
" –a ",1,sep="")
cat(cmd,"\n")
}
noerror <- function(){
cmd <- paste(" -a ",1," -a ",1," -a ",1,
" -a ",1," -a ",1," -a ",1,
" -a ",1," -a ",1," -a ",1,
" -a ",1," -a ",1," -a ",1,sep="")
cat(cmd,"\n")
}
Step 2) Start R again. Load the package with library() and run the commands:
error()
noerror()
I get the following output:
> > library(errors)
> error()
-a 1 -a 1 -a 1 -a 1 -a 1 -a 1 -a 1 -a 1 -a 1 -a 1 -a 1 -a 1 <e2><80><93>a 1
> noerror()
-a 1 -a 1 -a 1 -a 1 -a 1 -a 1 -a 1 -a 1 -a 1 -a 1 -a 1 -a 1
>
Now why does that "<e2><80><93>" replace one of the "-" in the first command?
Any ideas?
Cheers
Tom
