Hey,

I am looking for some help using Unicode with R CMD BATCH on windows.  In particular I would like my input and output files to be UTF-8 encoded.  My command line looks like this:

r CMD BATCH --encoding=UTF-8 in.txt out.txt

in.txt is utf-8 encoded and contains:

print("יםפוככודוגבט")

out.txt gets:

+ <ERROR: re-encoding failure from encoding 'UTF-8'>

What is the proper way to specify encoding on the command line?

Thanks in advance,

Ned.
