我已从数据库中将字符串导入R中。 db列类型为BYTEA
(Postgres)。为了让我按预期使用它,它应该是raw
类型。相反,它的类型为character
。我希望在以下意义上将其转换为raw:
字符串表示是
\x1f8b080000000000
如果我使用charToRaw
,它将转换为数组
5c 78 31 66 38 62 30 38
相反,我需要它作为数组
1f 8b 08 00 00 00 00 00
我如何实现这一目标。

library(RPostgreSQL)
conn <- dbConnect(dbDriver("PostgreSQL"), dbname = "somename",
host = "1.2.3.4", port = 5432,
user = "someuser", password = pw)
some_value <- dbGetQuery(conn, "select value from schema.key_value where key like '%somekey%' limit 1")
some_value$value
# [1] "\\x1f8b080000000000000

这适用于将您所描述类型的单个字符串转换为原始矢量。
## The string I think you're talking about
dat <- "\\x1f8b080000000000"
cat(dat, "\n")
## \x1f8b080000000000
## A function to convert one string to an array of raw
f <- function(x) {
## Break into two-character segments
x <- strsplit(x, "(?<=.{2})", perl=TRUE)[[1]]
## Remove the first element, "\\x"
x <- x[-1]
## Complete the conversion
as.raw(as.hexmode(x))
}
## Check that it works
f(dat)
## [1] 1f 8b 08 00 00 00 00 00
