Wave 5 error with the less than or equal to character #30

Closed bjsmith closed 4 years ago

bjsmith commented 4 years ago

I get the following error when trying to import the wave 5 version of latest_open_science_data.RDS

Warning messages:
1: In readRDS(path) :
  input string '≤ 5,000 people' cannot be translated to UTF-8, is it valid in 'US-ASCII'?

It is related to the inhabitants column.

I edited the inhab_labels variable on lines 1321 to 1325 of the cleaning code script to avoid that character, like:

inhab_labels <- "5,000 people or less  (1) 
o   5,001 - 20,000  (2) 
o   20,001 - 100,000  (3) 
o   100,001 - 500,000  (4) 
o   500,000 people or more  (5)"

But I don't know if this will fix the problem and it might even break it, if the original qualtrics file has the less than character and if inhab_labels needs to match it.

Great pickup Ben, thank you. Think I’ve fixed it.
