stri_enc_toascii: Convert To ASCII

In stringi: THE string processing package for R

Description

Converts input strings to ASCII, i.e. to strings with all codes <= 127.

Usage

stri_enc_toascii(str)

Arguments

str	character vector to be converted

Details

All charcodes > 127 are replaced with ASCII SUBSTITUTE CHARACTER (0x1A). R encoding marking is always used, to determine whether an 8-bit encoding or rather UTF-8 is used on input.

Bytes-marked strings are treated as 8-bit strings.

The SUBSTITUTE CHARACTER (\x1a == \032) may be interpreted as ASCII missing value for single characters.

Value

Returns a character vector.
