R CMD BATCH Unicode
So just to clarify - there is no way to use R CMD BATCH on windows with Unicode? Any advice of how to use R in a batch mode with Unicode inputs and outputs?

In that case the message is likely correct. You failed to give us the 'at a minimum information' required by the posting guide, but you can only have input scripts in the locale encoding (and there are no UTF-8 locales on Windows). So unless you were in a Greek locale, the re-encoding should have failed.

Subject: [R] R CMD BATCH Unicode
Hey,
I am looking for some help using Unicode with R CMD BATCH on windows. In particular I would like my input and output files to be UTF-8 encoded. My command line looks like this:
r CMD BATCH --encoding=UTF-8 in.txt out.txt
in.txt is utf-8 encoded and contains:
print("????????????")
out.txt gets:
+ <ERROR: re-encoding failure from encoding 'UTF-8'>
What is the proper way to specify encoding on the command line?
Thanks in advance,
Ned.
