readAndConvert
Description
Read a file in a different encoding and return it as UTF-8 using iconv
Usage
readAndConvert(filename, encoding = "")
Arguments
filename
Character variable with path a file with text in encoding
encoding
Optional character variable with the encoding, if unset via the default
empty string value no conversion is attempted.
Details
The function is an adapted version of the one in the Rcpp Gallery post at
https://gallery.rcpp.org/articles/iconv-via-r-header/ which is itself based on
https://dewey.dunnington.ca/post/2021/using-rs-cross-platform-iconv-wrapper-from-cpp11/.
It is however worth pointing out that ‘iconv’ results have been seen to vary
across operating systems. While it is portable it does not guarantee identical
outcomes across implementations: results on Windows have different from those on Unix OSs.
Value
A character variable with converted file content.
