Dear all,
i think I am a step further with the issue. I am pretty sure now, that it is
not a Sweave problem. It's indeed an encoding problem with my Mac. If i source
the file without any sweave
source("myRcode.R") I already get an error message, despite the fact that the
code is correct. If I run the whole code from an editor and send it to R it
just works like it's supposed to.
I copied my initial code to textwrangler (independent editor) saved it as
utf-8. Than I started the native R-GUI for Mac OS X, ran
options(encoding="UTF-8") and afterwards source("myRcode.R").
All I get is :
ungültige Eingabe gefunden in der Eingabeverbindung
which means "found invalid entry in entry connection"
I don't care if I have to switch the editor, but I want to keep my code. Do you
think running R from the Terminal could help? Are there any arguments that
you´d suggest in this case ?
thx in advance
matt
