Describe the bug
writeData function cannot find a sheet whose name contains "<" sign.

To Reproduce

sheetname = "<24h"
wb <- createWorkbook()
addWorksheet(wb, sheetname)
writeData(wb, sheetname, "test")
Error: Sheet '<24h' does not exist.

Expected behavior
Write data to the assigend sheet.

I've experienced the same issue but posted at the old repo: (awalker89/openxlsx#508)

Using openxslsx version 4.1.5 and R 4.0.0.

See below example:

wb <- openxlsx::createWorkbook()
openxlsx::addWorksheet(wb, sheet = "a < 1")  # this works
openxlsx::writeData(wb, sheet = "a < 1", jams)  # this returns an error

I can add a worksheet containing a special character, but when using writeData(), the sheet name first gets validated using validateSheet() which renames special characters using replaceIllegalCharacters(), but then checks against the existing sheet names (containing said character) and doesn't find the matching sheet. I don't know why the characters get replaced in one method but not the other?

# development  openxlsx 4.2.4

## Fixes

* `Write.xlsx()` now successfully passes `withFilter`
  ([#151](ycphs/openxlsx#151))
* code clean up PR [#168](ycphs/openxlsx#168)
* removal of unused variables PR
  [#168](ycphs/openxlsx#168)

## New features

* adds `buildWorkbook()` to generate a `Workbook` object from a
  (named) list or a data.frame
  ([#192](ycphs/openxlsx#192),
  [#187](ycphs/openxlsx#187))
  * this is now recommended rather than the `write.xlsx(x, file) ; wb
    <- read.xlsx(file)` functionality before
  * `write.xlsx()` is now a wrapper for `wb <- buildWorkbook(x);
    saveWorkbook(x, file)`
  * parameter checking from `write.xlsx()` >> `buildWorkbook()` are
    now held off until passed to `writeData()`, `writeDataTable()`,
    etc
  * `row.names` is now deprecated for `writeData()` and
    `writeDataTable()`; please use `rowNames` instead
* `read.xlsx()` now checks for the file extension `.xlsx`; previously
  it would throw an error when the file was `.xls` or `.xlm` files

* memory allocation improvements
* global options added for `minWidth` and `maxWidth`

* `write.xlsx()` >> `buildWorkbook()` can now handle `colWidths`
  passed as either a single element or a `list()`

* Added ability to change positioning of summary columns and rows.
  * These can be set with the `summaryCol` and `summaryRow` arguments
    in `pageSetup()`.

* `activeSheet` allows to set and get the active (displayed) sheet of a worbook.

* Adds new global options for workbook formatting
  ([#165](ycphs/openxlsx#165); see
  `?op.openxlsx`)


# openxlsx 4.2.3

## New Features

* Most of functions in openxlsx now support non-ASCII arguments
  better. More specifically, we can use non-ASCII strings as names or
  contents for `createNamedRegion()`
  ([#103](ycphs/openxlsx#103)),
  `writeComment()`, `writeData()`, `writeDataTable()` and
  `writeFormula()`. In addition, openxlsx now reads comments and
  region names that contain non-ASCII strings correctly on
  Windows. Thanks to @shrektan for the PR
  [#118](ycphs/openxlsx#118).

* `setColWidths()` now supports zero-length `cols`, which is
  convinient when `cols` is dynamically provided
  [#128](ycphs/openxlsx#128). Thanks to
  @shrektan for the feature request and the PR.

## Fixes for Check issues

* Fix to pass the tests for link-time optimization type mismatches

* Fix to pass the checks of native code (C/C++) based on static code
  analysis

## Bug Fixes

* Grouping columns after setting widths no longer throws an error
  ([#100](ycphs/openxlsx#100))

* Fix inability to save workbook more than once
  ([#106](ycphs/openxlsx#106))

* Fix `loadWorkbook()` sometimes importing incorrect column attributes

# openxlsx 4.2.2

## New Features

* Added features for `conditionalFormatting` to support also 'contains
  not', 'begins with' and 'ends with'

* Added return value for `saveWorkbook()` the default value for
  `returnValue` is `FALSE`
  ([#71](ycphs/openxlsx#71))

* Added Tests for new parameter of `saveWorkbook()`

## Bug Fixes

* Solved CRAN check errors based on the change disussed in
  [PR#17277](https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17277)

# openxlsx 4.2.0

## New Features

* Added `groupColumns()`, `groupRows()`, `ungroupColumns()`, and
  `ungroupRows()` to group/ugroup columns/rows
  ([#32](ycphs/openxlsx#32))
