Hello all,
I have a data frame in R, imported from an excel file in Swedish. The original
file contains several columns that have special characters, such as \¨{a},
\¨{o}, and so on. After import such special characters are represented in the
data frame by "\\345", "\\366" etc (don't ask me why). For example, a word
"Hårkan" becomes ''H\\345rkan".
Now my question is if it is possible to substitute those "H\\345rkan" by
"Haarkan" or simply "Harkan" in R, ideally by finding those "\\345" and then
replacing.
Thanks in advance,
Yingfu
