Re: [R] Can't read data coded in Cyrillic

I suspect that R is reading the data just fine, but is not displaying it as you 
want to see it.  Read the R Windows FAQ 3.3.

[R] Can't read data coded in Cyrillic

2010-12-05 Thread Dan Winetsky
To whom it may concern,

I have a database (an SPSS .sav file) with some vectors containing strings
of words in Cyrillic. My console, however, doesn't seem to read Cyrillics.
 If I type Привет into the console it shows  Ïðèâåò as I'm typing.  
Please
note that courier new, my console's default font can encode Cyrillics
elsewhere on my computer (e.g. MSWord and Chrome, from which this email is
being sent).  Please help me to understand why R can't do this.

Thanks,
Dan
