It works the same for me as it does for non-ASCII characters:

x <- "mia. Sza?mita???"
x.out<-gsub("??","A",x)
x.out<-gsub("??","A",x.out)
x.out<-gsub("?","I",x)
x.out<-gsub("??","A",x.out)
x.out
[1]"mia.SzaImitaIA"

Hi guys,

Are there any feasible methods in searching & finding non-ASCII characters
in R?

For example, from the following object,

x <- mia. Sza?mita???

The desired output is,

x.out <- mia. SzaImitaIA

Your help in resolving this would be greatly appreciated.

x <- "mia. Sza?mita???"
x.out<-gsub("?","I",x)
x.out<-gsub("??","A",x.out)
x.out
