Setting the locale to "C" (or perhaps some other non-UTF-8 locale) will show the BOM bytes. E.g., on Windows I get:
> Sys.getlocale() [1] "LC_COLLATE=English_United States.utf8;LC_CTYPE=English_United States.utf8;LC_MONETARY=English_United States.utf8;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=English_United States.utf8" > tools::showNonASCIIfile(' https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JamesRamsay5/fda/master/NAMESPACE') > rawToChar(readBin(' https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JamesRamsay5/fda/master/NAMESPACE', what="raw", n=20)) [1] "export(AmpPhasDec" > Sys.setlocale(locale="C") [1] "C" > tools::showNonASCIIfile(' https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JamesRamsay5/fda/master/NAMESPACE') 1: <ef><bb><bf>export(AmpPhasDecomp, > rawToChar(readBin(' https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JamesRamsay5/fda/master/NAMESPACE', what="raw", n=20)) [1] "\357\273\277export(AmpPhasDec" -Bill On Fri, Jan 20, 2023 at 9:16 AM Spencer Graves < spencer.gra...@effectivedefense.org> wrote: > Hi, Ivan and Uwe: > > > Thanks for your suggestions, but I've so far been unable to get > them > to work. see below. > > > On 1/20/23 9:22 AM, Uwe Ligges wrote: > > > > > > On 20.01.2023 15:53, Ivan Krylov wrote: > >> В Fri, 20 Jan 2023 08:41:25 -0600 > >> Spencer Graves <spencer.gra...@effectivedefense.org> пишет: > >> > >>> ** byte-compile and prepare package for lazy loading > >>> Error in parse(nsFile, keep.source = FALSE, srcfile = NULL) : > >>> 1:1: unexpected input > >> > >> tools::showNonASCIIfile(' > https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JamesRamsay5/fda/master/NAMESPACE') > >> # 1: <ef><bb><bf>export(AmpPhaseDecomp, > >> > >> Your NAMESPACE file starts with a U+FEFF ZERO WIDTH NO-BREAK SPACE. > >> You'll need to remove it, e.g. by re-creating the first line. > > > > > > Note that this is also called "byte order mark" (BOM).
