R CMD BATCH Unicode
The problem isn't so much getting the output to work. I can get that to work too. The problem is that R doesn't know what the encoding is, so things like graphs fail.

Well, I admit that I don't mess with this stuff much, but it worked fine for me in a simple test as long as I viewed the output with an editor or console that understood UTF-8, so I dispute your assertion that this is a problem internal to R. (I needed no special arguments to R for it to work either.)

I have no problems with the windows command line. I don't need any Unicode there. It really is an internal R question because of the way R is reading and writing the input and output files.

This is more related to Windows than R. I recommend studying windows documentation for awhile.

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?

Just to clarify: The encoding didn't come through in the email.
print("????????????") is meant to be a bunch of random greek
characters.
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.

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.
