So just to clarify - there is no way to use R CMD BATCH on windows with Unicode? Any advice of how to use R in a batch mode with Unicode inputs and outputs?

In that case the message is likely correct. You failed to give us the 'at a minimum information' required by the posting guide, but you can only have input scripts in the locale encoding (and there are no UTF-8 locales on Windows). So unless you were in a Greek locale, the re-encoding should have failed. > Ned. > > -----Original Message----- > From: r-help-boun...@r-project.org > [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On Behalf Of Ned Harding > Sent: Tuesday, June 25, 2013 11:35 AM > To: r-help@r-project.org > Subject: [R] R CMD BATCH Unicode > > Hey, > > I am looking for some help using Unicode with R CMD BATCH on windows.
