Use check.names = FALSE.  You should also do this by setting a Swedish 
locale.

[R] Swedish characters in data frames

[Neil White]

Hi

I have some data that was prepared while I was Sweden. The columns 
labelled using ä or å are fine, but for some reason ö is changed to a 
period.

so Blåbär stay the same, but Dödved becomes D.dved

I'd like to keep to original variable names

the data is read in using
vegFreqFull - read.csv(/dat/neil/voles/veg/FrequentFull.csv, header=TRUE)
Using R 1.70 on Win 2K SP4

Regards

Neil
