Just to clarify: The encoding didn't come through in the email.  
print("éíôåëëåãåâáè") is meant to be a bunch of random greek characters.

Subject: [R] R CMD BATCH Unicode

Hey,

I am looking for some help using Unicode with R CMD BATCH on windows.  In 
particular I would like my input and output files to be UTF-8 encoded.  My 
command line looks like this:

r CMD BATCH --encoding=UTF-8 in.txt out.txt

in.txt is utf-8 encoded and contains:

print("éíôåëëåãåâáè")

out.txt gets:

+ <ERROR: re-encoding failure from encoding 'UTF-8'>

What is the proper way to specify encoding on the command line?

Thanks in advance,

Ned.
