...e resulting CSV file has a size of 6 bytes which is too short (truncated): """,3 The problem seems to be the iconv function: iconv("foo", to="UTF-16") produces Error in iconv("foo", to = "UTF-16"): embedded nul in string: '\xff\xfef\0o\0o\0' In 2010 a (partial) patch for this problem was submitted: http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e10/devel/10/06/0648.html Are there chances to fix this problem since it prevents writing Windows UTF-16LE text files? PS: This problem can be reproduced on Windows and Linux. -----------...

R community, As you may know, R's iconv doesn't work well converting to and from encodings that allow embedded nulls. For example > iconv("foo", to="UTF-16") Error in iconv("foo", to = "UTF-16") : embedded nul in string: '\xff\xfef\0o\0o\0' However, I don't believe embedded nulls are at issue here, but rather that R's iconv doesn't accept objects of type RAWSXP. The iconv mechanism, after all, operates on encoded binary data, and not necessarily null terminated C strings. I'd like to submit a very small p...
