[R] Odp: language!!!

[Petr PIKAL]

Hi

I am not definitely expert in locales. It is a relict from time I worked 
with W95/98 where were some problems with locale setting and/or graphing. 
I would try just before reading in a file to change locale setting by

?Sys.setlocale

> Sys.getlocale()
[1] "LC_COLLATE=Czech_Czech Republic.1250;LC_CTYPE=Czech_Czech 
Republic.1250;LC_MONETARY=Czech_Czech 
Republic.1250;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=Czech_Czech Republic.1250"
> Sys.setlocale("LC_ALL", "Hebrew")
[1] 
"LC_COLLATE=Hebrew_Israel.1255;LC_CTYPE=Hebrew_Israel.1255;LC_MONETARY=Hebrew_Israel.1255;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=Hebrew_Israel.1255"
> Sys.getlocale()
[1] 
"LC_COLLATE=Hebrew_Israel.1255;LC_CTYPE=Hebrew_Israel.1255;LC_MONETARY=Hebrew_Israel.1255;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=Hebrew_Israel.1255"

and then try to read in the data.

Regards
Petr
