Dear useRs,
I am trying to read a tab-delimited Unicode text file containing both
latin and cyrillic characters and failing miserably. The file looks like
this (I hope it comes across right):
A B C
3 foo ФОО
5 bar БАР
read.table("foo.txt",sep="\t",header=TRUE)
I am guessing that I can use the fileEncoding argument to read.table()
to read this, but I can find no list of supported values of
fileEncoding, and fileEncoding="Unicode" gives an error.
The FAQ and the FAQ for Windows don't help. I have searched both the
list archives and RSeek and am still seeking enlightenment. I am running
R 2.10.1 on Windows XP, sessionInfo() below.
Cheers
Stephan
