Sorry all,

for not posting a minimal example. I am running R on Mac OS X snow leopard with 
Komodo edit / Sciviews-R. The problem is that the code does not work any more 
if there is an umlaut in my R code. The error message is some strange mixture 
of german and english, so this what the error message is supposed to look like:
"Invalid multibyte character in Parser line 195" . Allan´s example works as a standalone, with his code I get the following error message. Maybe this is a mac problem ... Error in parse(text = chunk) : Unexptected entry in "x <- data.frame(GeschÂ"

That's a sign that you're running R with options("encoding") set to something other than UTF-8, but your input file is UTF-8. It should be fine if, before running Sweave,
you run

options(encoding="UTF-8")

I don't know if this is possible using "R CMD Sweave", but you can always put together your own command line version using Rscript or "R --slave".

Thx for any help in advance
