rec() artgument with [] labeling not working under Windows but working under Mac

[frankcsliu]

These two lines worked well in Mac machines but not in Windows machines:

bbq$V44r <- rec(bbq$V44, rec="0:5=0[不會]; 6:10=1[會]", as.num=F)
frq(bbq$V44r)

If I change the labels in [] from Chinese to English; same thing occurred.
If I removed the labels including [], it worked fine.

Please help check this issue and let me know if I missed anything. Thanks.

Have you tried a white space between the recode-value and the brackets for the labels?
rec(bbq$V44, rec="0:5=0 [不會]; 6:10=1 [會]", as.num=F)

This (adding white space) worked for English labels (if I used [no] and [yes] respectively), but it still does not work for Chinese characters.

Which R version do you use?

[frankcsliu]

I was using 3.4.3; then I updated to 3.5.0. The same issue lasted in new version.

Could you check if the current submit fixes this issue (pls. install latest version from GitHub)?

[frankcsliu]

I reinstalled 2.7.2 from GitHub and the error remained.
