data frames with å, ä, and ö (=non-ASCII-characters) from windows to mac os x
Hi,
On my system (see below), it works fine (inputing the code below at
the R prompt). Make sure that the encoding of the input file is
encoded UTF-8.
Rgds,
Ivan

Hi, I ran into this issue previously and managed to solve it, but I've forgotten how and am getting frustrated... I have a data frame (see below) with scandinavian characters in R (2.7.1) running on a Win Xp-computer. I save the data frame in an RData-file on a usb stick, and load() it in R (2.8.0) running on OS X 10.5. Now the name of the data frame and all factor labels with scandinavian characters are scrambled. How do I make R in OS X read my data frame?
From what I've managed to find in the list archives and the FAQ I either
1) run
Sys.setlocale("LC_ALL","en_US.UTF-8") ### Doesn't change anything
or
2) run
defaults write org.R-project.R force.LANG en_US.UTF-8
in the terminal, which doesn't help either.
I must admit that I couldn't quite follow what documentation i found
on locales, so I might have messed up somewhere along the line.
Many thanks in advance for your help!
Regards,
Gustaf
