To paraphrase Brian, you're likely the victim of your unstated operating system... Hex 1a is ctr-Z, alias the end-of-file marker, which dates back from CP/M times and was never excised from the various Microsoft OS. R can't handle it because the OS is telling it that the file has ended. Opening the file in binary mode (?file) might help, but as I'm not on Windows, I can't easily check for you. > > Not sure does eveybody able to view the character, it's looks like this. > http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n4632369/arrow.png -- Peter Dalgaard, Professor, Center for Statistics, Copenhagen Business School Solbjerg Plads 3, 2000 Frederiksberg, Denmark Phone: (+45)38153501 Email: pd....@cbs.dk Priv: pda...@gmail.com ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
