Java$readUTF {R.utils} | R Documentation

## 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.

### Value

Returns a `character` string or an `integer` `vector`.
