[R] Fwd: problem importing apparently common txt files

[arun]

Hi,

Check if this works:
 dat1 <- read.table("folder2.txt", header=TRUE,stringsAsFactors=FALSE,sep="\t",fileEncoding="UTF-16")


'data.frame':    79 obs. of  6 variables:
 $ Documento: chr  "6143066.17.4.12.DSC_0001.png" "6143066.17.4.12.DSC_0001.png" "6143066.17.4.12.DSC_0001.png" "6143066.17.4.12.DSC_0002.png" ...
 $ Longitud : num  8.83 8.94 NA 8.94 8.99 ...
 $ Ángulo   : num  -90 90.3 NA -89.7 -90 ...
 $ Área     : num  NA NA 551 NA NA ...
 $ Altura   : num  NA NA 16.7 NA NA ...
 $ Anchura  : num  NA NA 52.5 NA NA ...

Dear list,

I would like to import into R studio txt files coming from Adobe photoshop.
These files contain different measures. The files are apparently common txt
files with columns separate by tab.  However with common function
read.table the import process doesn't work and weird symbols appear once
imported.  An example file is attached.

Do you have any idea what it is happening?

Thank you in advance
