This is a follow-up on my initial posts regarding character encodings on Windows (https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2017-August/074728.html) and Patrick Perry's reply (https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2017-August/074830.html) in particular (thank you for the links and the bug report!). My initial posts were quite chaotic (and partly wrong), so I am trying to clear things up a

I can confirm that it doesn't happen on Ubuntu 18.04.1 so Peter is most likely correct; it looks like its Windows specific.

...output on your system, we have no idea what you saw. [As a convenience to Windows users, R does in some cases assume that they are using Latin-1 encodings. If they use extensions to Latin-1 then there are no guarantees that code written for strict Latin-1 will work.] On 01/08/2017 10:19, Daniel Possenriede wrote: > Upon further inspection, I think these are at least two problems. > First the issue with printing latin1/cp1252 characters in the "80" to "9F" > code range. > > x <- c("?", "?", "?") > Encoding(x) > print(x) > &...

Hi, If I am not mistaken, all Rtools 4.2 (and 4.3) revisions have the same ARP [1] entries, i.e. all report version 4.2.0.1 (or 4.3.0.1). This makes it difficult to determine the installed version (is it possible to determine the installed revision?) and impossible for tools like winget [2] to update Rtools to the latest revision, AFAICT. Would it be possible to track the version in the

Thank you!. My apologies again for not including the console output in my message before. I sent another e-mail with the output in the meantime, so it should be a bit clearer now, what I am seeing. In case I missed something, please let me know. Yes, I am using latin1 and cp1252 interchangebly here, mostly because Encoding() is reporting the encoding as "latin1". You presumed correctly

Upon further inspection, I think these are at least two problems. First the issue with printing latin1/cp1252 characters in the "80" to "9F" code range. x <- c("?", "?", "?") Encoding(x) print(x) I assume that these are Unicode escapes!? (Given that Encoding(x) shows "latin1" I'd rather expect latin1/cp1252 escapes here, but

There seems to be something odd with "?" on Windows (and not only with read.table) In native encoding (cp-1252 in my case), "?" gets converted to "8" x <- "?" Encoding(x) #> [1] "unknown" print(x) #> [1] "8" charToRaw(x) #> [1] 38 "?" is indeed "8" identical(x, "8") #> [1] TRUE Everything
