Given the following R script:
x <- 1
print(list())
save(x, file = tempfile())
output <- encodeString("apple")
print(output)
If I source this script from RGui on Windows, I see the output:
> source("encoding.R")
list()
[1] "\002ÿþapple\003ÿþ"
That is, it's as though R has injected what looks like byte order
marks around the encoded string:
> charToRaw(output)
[1] 02 ff fe 61 70 70 6c 65 03 ff fe
FWIW I see the same output in R-patched and R-devel. Any idea what
might be going on? For what it's worth, I don't see the same issue
with R as run from the terminal.
Thanks,
Kevin
