You might try:

read.table("http://www.talgalili.com/files/aa.txt";, header = T, fileEncoding = "UTF-8", sep = "\t")

Hi Tal,

I am not even sure what is going on, but I think it is OS specific. When I
run your script on a Mac, I got the desired result:

read.table("http://www.talgalili.com/files/aa.txt";, header = T, sep =
"\t")
 אחת שתיים שלוש
1  12    97    6
2 123   354   44
3   6     1    3

This is the sessionInfo():

When doing the same on a PC via virtual machines on the same Mac, I got:

read.table("http://www.talgalili.com/files/aa.txt";, header = T, sep =
"\t", as.is = TRUE)
  X.....ª X...ª...... X...œ....

Hello dear R help group,

I am trying to read a .txt file, with Hebrew column names, while keeping
the
column names looking well in R - but without success.

I uploaded an example file to:
http://www.talgalili.com/files/aa.txt

And am trying the command:
read.table("http://www.talgalili.com/files/aa.txt";, header = T, sep =
"\t")

This returns me with:

X.....ª X...ª...... X...œ....
1      12          97         6
2     123         354        44
3       6           1         3

Instead of:

אחת     שתיים   שלוש
12      97      6
123     354     44
6       1       3


Any suggestion or clarification will be appreciated.

Best,
Tal
