Subject: use of Encoding()?
Hey,
this is my first question here, so forgive me if i my be clumsy.
I want to use Encoding to set the encoding of a character vector, but
it doese not seem to work. See example.
> x <- "16-03-02"
> Encoding(x)
[1] "unknown"
> Encoding(x) <- "latin1"
> Encoding(x)
[1] "unknown"
Is this intended?
Actually i want to change encoding of a character vector generated by
list.file on a linux computerwith UTF-8 file encoding, rstudio encoding
is iso8859-15.
Any hints?
best Tilmann
