similar to: Output mis-encoded on Windows w/ RGui 3.5.1 in strange case

Sorry, I should have been more clear -- if I write the contents of that script to a file called 'encoding.R' and source that, then I see the reported behavior. Here's something standalone that you should hopefully be able to copy + paste into RGui to reproduce: code <- ' x <- 1 print(list()) save(x, file = tempfile()) output <- encodeString("apple")

Hi Kevin, the extra bytes you are seeing are escapes for UTF-8 strings used in input to RGui console. Recently ascii strings are converted to UTF-8 so you would get these escapes for ascii strings now as well. RGui understands these escapes and converts from UTF-8 to wide characters before printing on Windows. The escapes should not be used unless printing to RGui console. I suppose you

Hi I'm having trouble sourcing or parsing a UTF-8 file that contains characters that are not representable in the current locale ("foreign characters") on Windows. The source() function stops with an error, the parse() function reencodes all foreign characters using the <U+xxxx> notation. I have added a reproducible example below the message. This seems well within the

Dear R experts, It seems that Rprintf has to be used to print from a C routine to guarantee to write to R?s output according to https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-exts.html#Printing. However if a string is UTF-8 encoded, non-ASCII characters (e.g., the infinity symbol http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/221e/index.htm) are misprinted. Is this an unsupported feature or is

The other day I was working on an example which used tempfile() to create file for use by the graphics device. And while I love tempfile()---as it is portable and clever and the files get cleaned by R and all that---I noticed one missing feature I would like to see: beside a starting name pattern, and an optional directory, an 'file extension' argument would be nice to have. As e.g. in

Of course, right after writing this e-mail I tested on my Windows machine and did not see what I expected: > charToRaw(before) [1] c3 a9 > charToRaw(after) [1] e9 so obviously I'm misunderstanding something as well.

I can reproduce this behavior on my Windows 10 system in RGui (cp1252): when I paste the Unicode infinity symbol into the console, it is treated as number 8. This is caused by Windows "best fit" default behavior in conversion of unicode characters to characters in the current native encoding: at some point in the past, 8 has been chosen as a good fit for infinity in Windows. In my

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.

I think this behavior is inconsistent with the documentation: tmp <- '?' tmp <- iconv(tmp, to = 'UTF-8') print(Encoding(tmp)) print(charToRaw(tmp)) tmpfilepath <- tempfile() writeLines(tmp, con = file(tmpfilepath, encoding = 'UTF-8'), useBytes = TRUE) [1] "UTF-8" [1] c3 a9 Raw text as hex: c3 83 c2 a9 If I switch to useBytes = FALSE, then

Is it just me, or did a corrupt PACKAGES.gz file get installed in the bin/windows/contrib/3.2 directory of CRAN mirrors recently? gzfile() complains about it and Cygwin's gzip cannot decompress it. I tried the following repos <- "https://cran.rstudio.com" v <- "3.2" pkgs.gz <- paste(sep="/", repos, "bin/windows/contrib", v,

Another solution is to only save the parts of the model object that interest you. As long as they don't include the formula (which is what drags along the environment it was created in), you will save space. E.g., tfun2 <- function(subset) { junk <- 1:1e6 list(subset=subset, lm(Sepal.Length ~ Sepal.Width, data=iris, subset=subset)$coef) } saveSize(tfun2(1:4)) #[1] 152 Bill

Dear R-Devels, I am writing right now my own package that makes use of 'tempfile' and there within with 'path.package'. When I install it, I get the error: Error in path.package("mypackage") : none of the packages are loaded. Here is the code, I use in my package: ".defaultDBPath" <- function() { db.path <- tempfile(pattern =

Hi, One of the functions I use needs to write to a temporary file, in the directory given by tempdir(). I want to change this from the standard one, as the file is too large for the drive. However, tempfile() doesnt seem to respect the environment variables when I change them with Sys.setenv(). In a fresh R-session: > Sys.getenv("TMP") [1]

I'd like to write unicode strings using the "\u" escape syntax. According to the documentation, print.default or encodeString will escape unicode using the \u convention.
