Dear R-devel List:

read.csv() seems to have changed in R version 2.13.0 as compared to version 
2.12.2 when reading in simple CSV files.

Suppose I read in a 2-column CSV file ("test.csv"), say
1, a
2, b

If file is encoded as UTF-8 (on Windows 7), then under R 2.13.0

That file could be pure ASCII, or could include a byte order mark. I tried both, and I didn't get the error your saw. So I think I need to see the file to diagnose this.

Could you put it in a .zip file and email it to me?

read.csv("test.csv",fileEncoding="UTF-8",header=FALSE) yields the following 
output
   V1
1  ?
Warning messages:
1: In read.table(file = file, header = header, sep = sep, quote = quote,  :
   invalid input found on input connection 'test.csv'
2: In read.table(file = file, header = header, sep = sep, quote = quote,  :
   incomplete final line found by readTableHeader on 'test.csv'

Under R 2.12.2 it runs problem-free and yields the expected:
   V1 V2
1  1  a
2  2  b

Please help.

Regards,
Alex
