[R] substitution of the ASCII character "squared" AKA "^2" AKA (alt+0178) with a tractable one

[Rui Barradas]

Hello,

To use the octal code works with me.

# I've created a file with that byte only.
x <- readLines("ascii0178")
y <- c(as.character(1:4), x, as.character(6:10))
y

grep("\262", y) # should return 5
gsub("\262", "HERE", y)

Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas
