Hello dear R help group,

I am trying to read a .txt file, with Hebrew column names, while keeping the
column names looking well in R - but without success.

I uploaded an example file to:
http://www.talgalili.com/files/aa.txt

And am trying the command:
read.table("http://www.talgalili.com/files/aa.txt";, header = T, sep = "\t")

This returns me with:

 X.....ª X...ª...... X...œ....
1      12          97         6
2     123         354        44
3       6           1         3

Unable to reproduce:

> read.table("http://www.talgalili.com/files/aa.txt";, header = T, sep =
+ "\t")
  אחת שתיים שלוש
1  12    97    6
2 123   354   44
3   6     1    3

> sessionInfo()
R version 2.10.1 RC (2009-12-09 r50695)

I suspect you will need to be more specific about your setup details... OS ... encodings ... the sort of think that comes from sessionInfo.




Instead of:

אחת     שתיים   שלוש
12      97      6
123     354     44
6       1       3


Any suggestion or clarification will be appreciated.

Best,
Tal
