Hello, I was reading through serialize.c and i couldn't answer something.
In readItem, case CHARSXP, rules exists to adjust the read string for string encoding. Q1. I couldn't find where the encoding of the elements of the string vector are written? Is it when writeItem writes out the attributes of the item? But i couldn't find encoding in the attributes field x <- "fa\xE7ile" Encoding(x) <- "latin1" xx <- iconv(x, "latin1", "UTF-8") y=c(x,xx) attributes(y) NULL Apologies if this has been asked before Regards Saptarshi [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
