great!!! This was actually not that difficult! I had tried indeed this encoding, but had got confused between the encoding and fileEncoding arguments! Thanks a lot to yo uMike, as well as to Paul and Anne, really nice! Matthieu Le 17/08/2011 18:47, Mike Cheetham a ?crit :
I had similar encoding problems a little while ago with text exported
from windows software (written in Germany - I'm in the US). If you're
still looking for an R solution you might try:
read.csv("http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6113358/prob.csv",
fileEncoding="ISO_8859-2")
which works on my system (or at least reads the file and the top looks
reasonable, missing values in the last column?)
