[R] Problem with R coding

[Iris Simmons]

Hi Maria,


I had something similar on my Windows work laptop at some point where the
home directory was something containing non ASCII characters. The easy
solution is to copy said directly from the file explorer into
utils::shortPathName, and then set that as the home directory. In my case,

> writeLines(utils::shortPathName(r"(C:\Users\iris\OneDrive - Organization
Name Non ASCII\Documents)"))
C:\Users\iris\ONEDRI~1\DOCUME~1

and then in the control panel, then user accounts (twice), then Change My
Environment Variables, enter the variable name HOME and the directory that
was produced by R. Now the HOME directory contains all ASCII characters so
everything works as expected.


I hope this helps!
