bi.clique() crashes RStudio and RGui

[marioangst]

I have been experimenting with bi.clique() using different bipartite networks. In most cases, the function works fine and fast.

However, I have come across cases where bi.clique() causes RStudio and RGui to crash. The resulting error output in RStudio is included at the bottom (probably not very informative).

I have attached an example edegelist file (example_el.txt) that reliably causes bi.clique() to crash RStudio and RGui on my Windows machine for all threshhold values I tested.

Another edgelist file interestingly causes RStudio to crash depending on the treshhold values. I have attached it as well (example2.txt). For values of rleast below 3 and small values of lleast (eg. 2), bi.clique("example2.txt") crashes. However, most other values compute as can be seen in the sensitivity chart below, mapping the number of bicliques to a range of values of rleast and lleast.

By the way, thanks for the great work! I hope I can contribute a little bit by being a guinea pig.

Hi Mario, Thanks for the feedback. I only considered the ASCII character in this version. I guess that's why RStudio crashes. I'll work on it. You are really contributing.

Hi Yuping

That was indeed the problem. I converted to ASCII characters and now it is running flawlessly. Awesome!
