error:Invalid multibyte sequence

[lixinyao]

Hi,
I am a chinese user of readr. Can you help me? Thanks!

> mydata1 = read_csv("/Users/lixinyao/Desktop/20160502.InputContract.SE.ByWeek.csv",
+ locale = locale(encoding="gbk"))
错误: Invalid multibyte sequence

But

> mydata = read.csv("/Users/lixinyao/Desktop/20160502.InputContract.SE.ByWeek.csv",
+                   header = TRUE,
+                   sep = ",",
+                   stringsAsFactors = FALSE,
+                   fileEncoding = "gbk")

It contains some specific symbols. What should I do? Thank you very much!

Can you please make a minimal version of that file available online somewhere?

It doesn't appear to be in GBK encoding but in GB18030.

This code worked for me:

read_csv("~/Desktop/20160502.InputContract.SE.ByWeek.csv", locale = locale(encoding = "GB18030"))

BTW when I print that dataset out, the column names don't seem to align with the columns. I think that's probably a bug in tibble. Is it ok to share the column names in another bug report? (but not the values of the columns)

[hadley]

Oh, I just google translated them and they seem pretty innocuous - I think I can probably share "completion date" and "contract entry date"!
