Hello Duncan, thank you very much for your reply. The file is attached. Again, the issue is that opening this UTF-8 encoded file under R 2.13.0 yields an error, but opening it under R 2.12.2 works without any issues.
The command I used to open the file is: read.csv("test.csv",fileEncoding="UTF-8",header=FALSE) (As you'll see, the file does have a byte order mark.)

I tried both, and I didn't get the error your saw. So I think I need to see the file to diagnose this. Could you put it in a .zip file and email it to me?
