Subject: ASCII characters: from decimal code to R octal?
Is there a straightforward way to convert character information from
decimal representation to the octal one used by R?
I'd like something like a function ascii(number,base=10), such that
> ascii(91)
[1] "\133"
I can easily do the mapping from 91 to 133, but what is a good way to
operate on 133 to deliver "\133"?
Would a lookup table be a better solution?
David
