readUTF.Java

Reads a Java (UTF-8) formatted string from a connection

Description

Reads a Java (UTF-8) formatted string from a connection.

Usage

## Static method (use this):
## Java$readUTF(con, as.character=TRUE, ...)

## Don't use the below:
## S3 method for class 'Java'
readUTF(static, con, as.character=TRUE, ...)

Arguments

`con`	Binary connection to be read from.
`as.character`	If `TRUE`, the read string converted, i.e. translated, into an R character string before returned, otherwise an integer vector representation of the Unicode string is returned.
`...`	Not used.

Details

Currently only 8-bit UTF-8 byte sequences are supported, i.e. plain ASCII sequences, i.e. characters that take up more than one byte are read incorrectly without any warnings.
