I am taking the GDAC coursera class on R and I am getting this error specifically when pressing the “knit” button that creates an html/pdf/word file in Rstudio desktop.

 Error: 'U' used without hex digits in character string (<input>:4:36) Execution halted 

After researching, I found a possible solution by creating a function for turning ” into ‘\’ or ‘/’, in this post.

One reply lead me to a wordpath function of a R github package here.

I don’t know how to implement a solution, but I have gone as far as creating the wp.r word-path package. I read the information provided by help(knit) on R studio, but I still am not how it operates.

I am a beginner in R and would like any level of information. Thank you!
