[R] problem with intToChar

[Sarah Goslee]

That isn't really enough information to answer your question, since you
don't tell us where intToChar comes from or what you are trying to do,
but here are a couple of possibilities:

> ?intToChar
No documentation for 'intToChar' in specified packages and libraries:
you could try '??intToChar'
> testdata <- sample(1:6, 10, replace=TRUE)
> testdata
 [1] 5 3 2 5 6 3 4 5 4 4
> as.character(testdata)
 [1] "5" "3" "2" "5" "6" "3" "4" "5" "4" "4"
> letters[testdata]
 [1] "e" "c" "b" "e" "f" "c" "d" "e" "d" "d"
