Fatal error when exporting attributes containing a '&' sign
Issue #25
new
Hi George,
Thanks for a so needed R extension which I'm often using.
Currently I'm however encountering an error whenever I have attributes containing an & sign.
Code to reproduce the error:
library(igraph)
library(rgexf)
g <- erdos.renyi.game(100, 1/100)
g <- set.vertex.attribute(g, "test", index=V(g), "Some & Some")
gexf <- igraph.to.gexf(g)
Error given: xmlParseEntityRef: no name Error: 1: xmlParseEntityRef: no name
Any suggestions to why this might happen? In the current situation I can probably just remove any &, however it took me more than an hour to identify the cause of the error which is difficult to guess based on the error message.
Best regards Tobias
