You haven't given any of the information asked for in the posting guide.
But, assuming this is Windows in CP1252 (as I believe that has been your
locale before), it works for me in current R.
plot(1:10)
file.label <- "foo"
savePlot(paste("diagnostic â vs a ", file.label, ".jpg",
sep = ""), type = "jpg")
If you are not using 2.8.0 beta or 2.7.2 patched, please check those.
This might be related to
o file.path() did not work correctly in 2.7.0 if the components
had different encodings.
(NEWS for 2.7.1).

Greetings R-wizards:
For historical reasons I have filenames with the character "â" and have
successfully used "\u00e2" in its place, with the hoped-for result on all my
on-screen plots.
However since R2.7.0 I have trouble with savePlot() when the file name
includes that character as it does in this example:
savePlot(paste("diagnostic â vs a ", file.label, ".jpg",
sep = ""), type = "jpg")
In R2.6.0 and earlier, R would ignore a dot ('.') in the file name and
supply the extension. Since R2.7.0 if filename does include a dot,
savePlot() will not add the file type as an extension. Thus my apparent
redundancy in the file name.
The problem I have is that the example command will substitute an unwanted
character for â, yet if I use "File, save as, jpg ... " and type in a name
containing the troublesome character, R saves the on-screen plot with that
character in the name with no complaints.
I have tried using iconv() with no success, as can be seen with the
following code:
file.name <- paste("diagnostic â vs a ", file.label, ".jpg", sep = "")
iconv.List <- iconvlist()
for(encoding in iconv.List) {
print(iconv(file.name, "", encoding, ""))}
So, here's the question: How can I save, with a non-interactive R command,
an existing plot with the troublesome character in the file name?
Thanks.
