Hello:
How can one convert Latin characters with to the corresponding
characters without? For example, I want to convert "ú" to "u", similar
to how tolower('U') returns "u".
This can be done using chartr{base}, e.g., chartr('ú', 'u',
'Raúl') returns "Raul". However, I wondered if a simpler version of
this is available.
Thanks,
Spencer
p.s. findFn('convert to ascii') found 117 help pages in 70 packages.
A brief review identified two to "Convert to ASCII": ASCIIfy {gtools}
and stri_enc_toascii {stringi}. Neither of these did what I expected.
