read_utf8: Read / write files encoded in UTF-8

In xfun: Miscellaneous Functions by 'Yihui Xie'

Description

Read or write files, assuming they are encoded in UTF-8. read_utf8() is roughly readLines(encoding = 'UTF-8') (a warning will be issued if non-UTF8 lines are found), and write_utf8() calls writeLines(enc2utf8(text), useBytes = TRUE).

Usage

read_utf8(con, error = FALSE)

write_utf8(text, con, ...)

Arguments

con	A connection or a file path.
error	Whether to signal an error when non-UTF8 characters are detected (if FALSE, only a warning message is issued).
text	A character vector (will be converted to UTF-8 via enc2utf8()).
...	Other arguments passed to writeLines() (except useBytes, which is TRUE in write_utf8()).
