[rkward-devel] quick (hopefully) feature request: show some NA info in data editor

[meik michalke]

hi,

right now, the data editor doesn't visibly discriminate between NA, <NA> or "" 
in cells, they're all plain white, which can be a problem especially when 
dealing with strings. would it be much work to have those "empty" cells show 
some kind of greyed-out indicator wheter they are just empty strings ("") or 
really NA?

related to this, i repeatedly had a problem with SPSS data sets where 
read.spss() did not trim string values, so they ended up like

  "value                     "

and you didn't see the spaces. i have no idea yet how to solve this nicely 
(meaning: make it visible), but it's an awful trap if you're wondering why the 
hell your script doesn't find a match for "value".


viele grüße :: m.eik
