[R] How to use read.table with Hebrew column names ?

Hello dear R help group,

I am trying to read a .txt file, with Hebrew column names, while keeping the
column names looking well in R - but without success.

I uploaded an example file to:
http://www.talgalili.com/files/aa.txt

And am trying the command:
read.table("http://www.talgalili.com/files/aa.txt", header = T, sep =
"\t")

This returns me with:

  X.....ª X...ª...... X...œ....
1      12          97         6
2     123         354        44
3       6           1         3

Instead of:

אחת	שתיים	שלוש
12	97	6
123	354	44
6	1	3


Any suggestion or clarification will be appreciated.

Best,
Tal

[R] How to use read.table with Hebrew column names ?

Hi Tal,

You want the colnames in hebrew? Case not, may be you
can use colnames() to attrib new colnames.

I suspect you will need to be more specific about your setup  
details... OS ... encodings  ... the sort of think that comes from  
sessionInfo.

You might try:

read.table("http://www.talgalili.com/files/aa.txt", header = T,  
fileEncoding = "UTF-8", sep = "\t")
