Thanks for the attention. So my windows locale is Russian (Cyrillic, Win-1251). I installed R-2.8.0-win32.exe. I've got a file with Cyrillic letters in its name, for example "C:\жжж.txt". When I try to open it from R menu "File->Source R code ..." it produces an error:
> source("C:\\666.txt") Error in file(file, "r", encoding = encoding) : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In file(file, "r", encoding = encoding) : cannot open file 'C:\666.txt': No such file or directory the Cyrillic letters "жжж" in this case are somehow replaced with "666" Prof Brian Ripley wrote: > Can we please have a reproducible example, as well as all the details > requested in the posting guide. > > There are literally tens of different ways to 'open files' in R, and > some at least with Cyrillic file names.
