Re: [R] Sweave encoding option

2012-09-05 Thread Shi, Tao
Hi Yihui,

Thanks for your quick reply!  Yes, it was a long vacation, but definitely not 
long enough  :-).


Seriously, I have not changed my R, my tex engine etc.  Nothing.  And I was 
running the command just a couple of weeks ago and everything was fine.  But 
now I need to specify this encoding option

Still puzzled.

Tao

What happened might be that your vacation took too long. The encoding
argument was introduced in R 2.13.1 (July last year). Nothing has
changed in your Rnw document, but things have always been changing in
R, so the best thing to do is to check out help(Sweave).

Regards,
Yihui

 Hi list,

 I was running Sweave on one of my .rnw file.  Everything was fine, until I 
 came back from the vacation.  Nothing changed (at least to my knowledge), 
 but now I have this problem:

     Sweave(myfile.rnw)
 Error: ‘COLO001final.rnw’ is not ASCII and does not declare an encoding


 After snooping around on the web, I found this solution:

 Sweave(myfile.rnw, encoding=utf8)

 Now everything works fine.

 Could somebody explain to me what happened?  Why I need to specify the 
 encoding now for it to work?  What has changed (beyond my knowledge) in 
 my computer that is causing this error?

 I'm running R 2.15.1 on WinXP.

 Thanks!

 Tao
