问题
Does anyone know of a generic function in r that can convert ä
to its unicode character â
? I have seen some functions that take in â
, and convert it to a normal character. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Edit: Below is a record of data, which I probably have over 1 million records. Is there an easier solution other than reading the data into a massive vector, and for each element, changing the records?
wine/name: 1999 Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les Vaucrains
wine/wineId: 43163
wine/variant: Pinot Noir
wine/year: 1999

review/text: Well this is awfully gorgeous, especially with a nicely grilled piece of Copper River sockeye. Pine needle and piercing perfume move to a remarkably energetic and youthful palate of pure, twangy, red fruit. Beneath that is a fair amount of umami and savory aspect with a surprising amount of tannin. Lots of goodness here. Still quite young but already rewarding at this stage.
wine/name: 2001 Karthäuserhof Eitelsbacher Karthäuserhofberg Riesling Spätlese
wine/wineId: 3058
wine/variant: Riesling

Update:
Using the function stri_trans_general function will convert any Â
to a correct lowercase character, and vapply results need to be assigned to save changes.
#cellartracker-10records is the test file to use
tester <- "/Users/petergensler/Desktop/Wine Analysis/cellartracker-10records.txt"
decode <- function(x) { xmlValue(getNodeSet(htmlParse(tester), "//p")[[1]]) }
#Using vector, as we want to iterate over the raw file for cleaning
poop <- vapply(tester, decode, character(1), USE.NAMES = FALSE)
#Now use stringi to convert all characters to correct characters poop
poop <- stringi::stri_trans_general(poop, "Latin-ASCII")
writeLines(poop, "wines.txt")

Here's one way via the XML package:
txt <- "wine/name: 2003 Karthäuserhof Eitelsbacher Karthäuserhofberg Riesling Kabinett"
library("XML")
xmlValue(getNodeSet(htmlParse(txt, asText = TRUE), "//p")[[1]])
> xmlValue(getNodeSet(htmlParse(txt, asText = TRUE), "//p")[[1]])
[1] "wine/name: 2003 Karthäuserhof Eitelsbacher Karthäuserhofberg Riesling Kabinett"
The [[1]]
bit is because getNodeSet()
returns a list of parsed elements, even if there is only one element as is the case here.
This was taken/modified from a reply to the R-Help list by Henrique Dallazuanna in 2010.
If you want to run this for a character vector of length >1, then lapply()
this:
txt <- rep(txt, 2)
decode <- function(x) {
xmlValue(getNodeSet(htmlParse(x, asText = TRUE), "//p")[[1]])
}
lapply(txt, decode)
or if you want it as a vector, vapply()
:
> vapply(txt, decode, character(1), USE.NAMES = FALSE)
[1] "wine/name: 2003 Karthäuserhof Eitelsbacher Karthäuserhofberg Riesling Kabinett"
[2] "wine/name: 2003 Karthäuserhof Eitelsbacher Karthäuserhofberg Riesling Kabinett"
For the multi-line example, use the original version, but you have to write the character vector back out to a file if you want it as a multiline document again:
txt <- "wine/name: 2001 Karthäuserhof Eitelsbacher Karthäuserhofberg
Riesling Spätlese
wine/wineId: 3058
wine/variant: Riesling
wine/year: 2001
review/points: N/A
review/time: 1095120000
review/userId: 1
review/userName: Eric
review/text: Hideously corked!"
out <- xmlValue(getNodeSet(htmlParse(txt, asText = TRUE), "//p")[[1]])
This gives me
> out
[1] "wine/name: 2001 Karthäuserhof Eitelsbacher Karthäuserhofberg \nRiesling Spätlese\nwine/wineId: 3058\nwine/variant: Riesling\nwine/year: 2001\nreview/points: N/A\nreview/time: 1095120000\nreview/userId: 1\nreview/userName: Eric\nreview/text: Hideously corked!"
Which if you write out using writeLines()
writeLines(out, "wines.txt")
You'll get a text file, which can be read in again using your other parsing code:
> readLines("wines.txt")
[1] "wine/name: 2001 Karthäuserhof Eitelsbacher Karthäuserhofberg "
[2] "Riesling Spätlese"
[3] "wine/wineId: 3058"
[4] "wine/variant: Riesling"
[5] "wine/year: 2001"
[6] "review/points: N/A"
[7] "review/time: 1095120000"
[8] "review/userId: 1"
[9] "review/userName: Eric"
[10] "review/text: Hideously corked!"
And it is a file (from my BASH terminal)
$ cat wines.txt
wine/name: 2001 Karthäuserhof Eitelsbacher Karthäuserhofberg
Riesling Spätlese
wine/wineId: 3058
wine/variant: Riesling
wine/year: 2001
review/points: N/A
review/time: 1095120000
review/userId: 1
review/userName: Eric
review/text: Hideously corked!
