error in calling source(): invalid multibyte character in parser

Sun, Jan 2, 2011 11:32 PM

Being italians when writing comments/instructions we use accented letters - like ?, ?, ?, etc.... when running R scripts using such characters I get and error saying:

invalid multibyte character in parser

I have been looking at the help and searched the r-help archives but I haven't find anything that I could intelligibly apply to my case.

Can anyone suggest a fix for this error? 

Thanks,
Luca
