Hello everyone,
I'm trying to open the same file under Linux and Windows. Under Windows
everything is ok but when I try to do it under Linux I have a mistake and I
don't know why. This is the mistake:
Error in make.names(col.names,unique=TRUE):
string multibyte 1 invalid
Your system guesses a different encoding than the file is in fact, I guess...
And there are worked examples about how to tell R the correct encoding on
the file() help page (as referenced from the read.table() help page). If
this is a Windows Spanish text file, the required encoding is most likely
CP1252, so try
con <- file(<filename>, encoding="CP1252")
read.delim2(con, header=TRUE)
close(con)

why?
I write this when I want to do it under Windows:
zz.info<-read.table(file("C:/Documents and
Settings/Administrador/Desktop/carlos/aCGH/aCGH/examples/Anal_sin_norm_1Mb86_Segmentos3.txt","r+"),header=TRUE,sep="\t",dec=".")
and under Linux:
zz.info<-read.table(file("/home/carlos/Desktop/Anal_sin_norm_1Mb86_Segmentos3.txt","r+"),header=TRUE,sep="\t",dec=".")
Why do I have problems under Linux?. If you need the text file tell me it.
Thanks so much for your help
Carlos
