converting ascii number to strings in R

Question

To convert strings to ascii code in R, I typically use:

> strtoi(charToRaw("abcd"),16L)
[1] 97 98 99 100

Is there a function to do the inverse, i.e.

>myDesiredFunc(c(97 98 99 100)) 
[1] "abcd"

Thanks.

Answer 1

I just noticed that R has a intToUtf8 and utf8ToInt functions that does the same thing.

> test<-utf8ToInt("Apples")
> test
[1]  65 112 112 108 101 115
> intToUtf8(test)
[1] "Apples"
