Data label issue with <text> modules in xml code #9

Closed ejuliaschulz closed 4 years ago

ejuliaschulz commented 5 years ago

Hello, thank you for this great package. I figured a problem with parsing the metadata for my triple-s file. It is just affecting the data labels for my variables. My xml code looks like this for variable declaration:

... <variable ident="5" type="single" format="numeric"> <name>typtel</name> <label> <text xml:lang="fr-FR" mode="analysis">TYPTEL-Telephone Type</text> </label> <position start="16" /> <values> <value code="1">Fixed<text xml:lang="fr-FR" mode="analysis">Fixed</text></value> <value code="2">Mobile<text xml:lang="fr-FR" mode="analysis">Mobile</text></value> </values> </variable> ...

I can parse the xml code, but in R, I can see that this in fact returns a code dataframe with invalid entries:

ident code codevalues
5 1 Fixed
5 2 <text xml:lang="fr-FR" mode="analysis">Fixed</text>
5 1 Mobile
5 2 <text xml:lang="fr-FR" mode="analysis">Mobile</text>

Is there a way to solve this with the package, without having to delete all of the <text> entries (which gives the right results?)

Thank you for your help Julia

Please provide a minimally reproducible example, ideally with small example files that exhibit this behaviour.

I'm working on a fix for this and this fix is currently in the dev branch

This fix is now in the master branch on github. Please can you test on as many survey files as possible and report any problems? I'll submit a new version to CRAN early next week if I don't get any error reports.
