Cannot get "==" operator to return TRUE

Sorry, I meant
Do you know of a way to print a string such that I can see whether it
contains a *space* or a no-break space?

Thank you!  That is great.

I have a data.frame named "df". The dput of df is at the bottom of this e-mail.
What I'd like to do is replace the "n/a " values with NA.  On Mac OSX, it works
to do this:
df[df == "n/a"]<- NA

However, it does not work on Ubuntu.  See below.

Thanks in advance,
Garrett

x<- df[27, 4] # complete data.frame dput is below
dput(x)

"n/a "

Hi.

This string contains a no-break space, not a space.

  "n/a " == "n/a\uA0"

  [1] TRUE

  "n/a\uA0"

  [1] "n/a "

Hope this helps.
