I have a table of strings. I need to extract useful info from this table. There are tons of Chinese characters in this table. I want to remove these Chinese characters. What can I use? Thanks.
This is more a theoretical problem, if you have a load of string data with Chinese characters in it, how useful is that data full stop? Just removing that might alter the content of the string totally, for example:
"I went out yesterday XYZ"
where XYZ means not, changes the whole concept of the test. Me, I would want it translated if it was to be usable.
Anyways, can you read them into SAS ok? If so does the compress() work?
want=compress(have,"kda");
This means keep digits and alpha. Try it.
