How to match all internationalized text?

Question

I\'m on a search-and-destroy mission for anything Amazon finds distasteful. In the past I\'ve dealt with this by using iconv to convert from \"UTF-8\" to \"latin1\

Answer 1

I looped a bit through iconvlist() and found this (among other combinations):

test<-"Gwena\xeblle M"
iconv(test,"CP1163","UTF-8")
 [1] "Gwenaëlle M"

I realize, this is not what you asked for, but it might be possible to find the correct encoding.
