Hi all,

I have one file which is saved in "ANSI"

are comming proper like

for the command

names(kk)

 "FILEID"       "UNIQUEID"        "LATESTFLG"       "ACTIVEFLG"
  "PROJROLEID"      "IDENTIFIER"      "TREATMTSTDATE"   "TITLE"
"SOURCE"          "PLANSUB"         "STENDDATE"       "STSTARTDATE"

this is correct


but if I am converting those files to   "UTF-8"   formate and after loading
to R-project Object and again I checked for
coloumn names then its giving like

 "ī..FILEID"       "UNIQUEID"        "LATESTFLG"       "ACTIVEFLG"
  "PROJROLEID"      "IDENTIFIER"      "TREATMTSTDATE"   "TITLE"
  "SOURCE"          "PLANSUB"         "STENDDATE"       "STSTARTDATE"
"NOOFGROUPS"      "SLOTNO"          "PREPPERIOD"      "STREPORTDATE"
"COMPLETIONDATE"  "ARCHIVEDATE"     "HOUSINGNAME"     "NOOFGEN"
"NOOFANIMALS"     "SPECIES"         "SPDID"           "STRAIN"
"STDID"           "STUDYTYPE"       "SDID"            "DOSETYPE"
"DOSDID"          "SEXPARTICIPANTS" "SOPDID"          "X"

here the problem is while loading for the first coloumn name R-project
adding  special charecters like  "ī.."

can any one help me how to read these "UTF-8" files with out these  extra
charectors

thanks in advance
