Dear R-users,
I'm facing a problem with the import of data in R. I have a sav file that, I
presume, uses some Arabic encoding (but I don't know which one) and I would
like to read it with R. When I use the function read.spss (I also tried
spss.get(Hmisc)), I get the following message:
> read.spss("Hhld.sav")
Erreur dans read.spss("Hhld.sav") :
erreur à la lecture de l'entête du fichier système
De plus : Warning message:
In read.spss("Hhld.sav") :
Hhld.sav : position 0 : le nom de la variable commence avec un caractère non
autorisé
The second and last lines can be translated into "error reading system-file
header" and "Hhld.sav: position 0: Variable name begins with invalid
character". That's why I suppose it is a problem with the encoding. Does
someone has an idea of the solution to my problem?
Thanks
Florent Bresson
