Hello, In R under Mac OS X 10.5.4 I've had problems when I've tried to read a data.frame with characters including tildes and accents. For instance Floreña is changed to Flore\x96a and Ranchería is changed to Rancher\x92a In the code: section<-read.table('Sectiondic.txt',sep='\t',header=T,stringsAsFactors=F,encoding=" ") I've changed the "encoding" argument but I have not could find the solution. Any suggestion? Thanks a lot Carlos Cuartas [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
