Thanks. The --encoding option indeed makes it all work. Rscript --help
does not show the --encoding option in the list of options.
And yes, you are right. I was using R 4.1.2 when I first wrote to the
list. I was experiencing a technical issue with R 4.2.1 which was
preventing me from switching over to it but I have a satisfactory
solution to the problem now and have just moved to R 4.2.1. It seems
that, on Windows at least, R 4.2.1 does indeed use utf-8 as its native
encoding. I didn't realise this. At any rate, it looks like merely
upgrading solves my encoding concerns without the need to set options or
specify the encoding with Rscript. Very nice and kudos to the R
developers for taking the leap!
Thanks everyone for your help.
Cheers,
Andrew.

Rscript --encoding UTF-8 file
If you're using R for Windows, I'm surprised this issue would come up
since R 4.2.0 added support for UTF-8. At least on my own Windows
machine, I can run exactly what you wrote and not have any issues. Are
you using an older version of R?

Thanks everyone. Setting encoding in options in Rprofile.site has taken
care of it.
Curiously, it doesn't seem to solve the whole problem for Rscript
though. I checked that Rscript is indeed picking up the default
encoding
from options, but it's complaining about seeing an unexpected input in
dat$línea <- ....
immediately following the l when I run
Rscript myfile.R.
So, it would appear that Rscript is not using source to read in the R
script. Mind you, if I do
Rscript -e source('myfile.R')
it works properly just like in Rgui.
Once again, Thanks heaps.
Cheers,
Andrew.
