Hi, On a Linux box running Red Hat Linux and R 2.14.1 I call iconv with a character string specifying to = "LATIN1". The resulting string contains a \xa0 after 180 characters. This character is not present in the input string, and the same experiment performed on a Mac running R 2.12.2 results in the expected output, i.e., without the \xa0. I can't imagine this is something that the iconv installed on the Linux box is doing -- I've made a mental note to check it tomorrow when I'm back in the office. Anybody care to take a stab at an explantion? 180 doesn't would like a random number. Regards, Richard Richard R.
