similar to: Guidelines when to use LF vs CRLF ("\n" vs. "\r\n") on Windows for new lines (line endings)?

Hi. I've made a strange observation. When having Dovecot (at least) with maildir and moving (via IMAP) mail received by some client (Evolution 3.4) into it the following happens: Regardless of whether the mail was originally(!) set with CRLF or LF (i.e. when I use netcat to submit the plain SMTP to the relaying MTA). When the client (Evolution) had received the mail via POP3 before moving

Hi, could somebody apply the below patch to contrib/cygwin/ssh-host-config? The patch solves a problem with the way, the Windows pendant of the /etc/services file is used. This file has (obviously) CRLF line endings. The ssh-host-config file tries to accomodate that when adding the ssh service entries but I never reviewed this functionality in the light of some major changes in the Cygwin DLL.

No, I don't. But I do know that Samba provides transparent file access -- it has no idea what data is in the files it offers to the clients. It could be a database, a JPEG, a text document, or an executable program. What you suggest would be an extremely bad idea. You need better clients -- it is the clients that interpret the contents of the file. Samba is just another file access method.

Hi everybody! I hope that you are not already "pissed off" of all the crlf/lf conversion discussion between dos and unix ;-) Concerning that topic I have a question / suggestion: This is what we have: We are using a Win NT 4.0 Server with Win95 clients. Additionally we have a Sun (Solaris 2.5) running in the same network. To access the Sun in character mode we use a terminal

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.

Excellent analysis, thank you both for the quick reply! Is there anything I can do to get the bug fixed in the next version of R (e. g. filing a bug report at https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla3/)?

If I execute the code from the "?write.table" examples section x <- data.frame(a = I("a \" quote"), b = pi) # (ommited code) write.csv(x, file = "foo.csv", fileEncoding = "UTF-16LE") the resulting CSV file has a size of 6 bytes which is too short (truncated): """,3 The problem seems to be the iconv function:

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

Dear all, When running R CMD check on Windows XP to test my package I get the following warning message: "* checking line endings in C/C++/Fortran sources/headers ...

>From my understanding, translation is implied in this line of ?file (from the Encoding section): The encoding of the input/output stream of a connection can be specified by name in the same way as it would be given to iconv: see that help page for how to find out what encoding names are recognized on your platform. Additionally, "" and "native.enc" both

I have just committed your first patch (the strlen() replacement) to R-devel, and will soon put it in R-patched as well. I wont have time to look at this again before the 3.2.4 release, so your file.show() patch isn't going to make it unless someone else gets to it. There's still a faint chance that I'll do more in R-devel before 3.3.0, but I think it's best if there were bug

I suspect your UTF-8 string is being stripped of its encoding before write, and so assumed to be in the system native encoding, and then re-encoded as UTF-8 when written to the file. You can see something similar with: > tmp <- '?' > tmp <- iconv(tmp, to = 'UTF-8') > Encoding(tmp) <- "unknown" > charToRaw(iconv(tmp, to =

Recent functionality in jsonlite allows for streaming json to a user supplied connection object, such as a file, pipe or socket. RFC7159 prescribes json must be encoded as unicode; ISO-8859 (including latin1) is invalid. Hence I would like R to write strings as utf8, irrespective of the type of connection, platform or locale. Implementing this turns out to be unsurprisingly difficult on windows.
