系统区域设置错误

Question

我正在尝试使用data.table的fread读取CSV，其中小数点是,。它返回关于更改系统区域设置的错误。

你知道怎么做吗?

sampleCSV = "a;b;c
1,03;80,3;50,4
45,2;65,3;90,678"
library(data.table)
fread(sampleCSV, sep = ';', dec = ",", verbose = T)
# *** Verbose & Error message: ***
# dec=',' but current locale ('C') has dec='.'. Attempting to change locale to one that has the desired decimal point.
# Changing to system locale ('en_US.UTF-8') did not provide the desired dec. Now trying any provided in getOption('datatable.fread.dec.locale')
# Trying 'fr_FR.utf8'
# Sys.setlocale('LC_NUMERIC','fr_FR.utf8')  returned ""; i.e., this locale name is not valid on your system. It was provided by you in getOption("datatable.fread.dec.locale"). See ?Sys.setlocale and ?fread.
# Error in fread(sampleCSV, sep = ";", dec = ",", verbose = T) : 
#   Unable to change to a locale which provides the desired dec. You will need to add a valid locale name to getOption("datatable.fread.dec.locale"). See the long paragraph in ?fread.

Sys.info()

Answer 1

我遇到这个问题是因为在Ubuntu中没有安装区域设置fr_FR.utf8。您可以在系统shell中使用sudo命令安装它:

sudo locale-gen fr_FR.UTF-8

然后重新启动r

希望有所帮助
