Opening an .R files EDIT: gzip files saved with .R extension. Is there any other way to access them?

I have a number of R files with an .R extension. I've tried various ways to see what is inside these file, including Xcode, vim, etc.

What I find is utterly indecipherable. For example, it looks like this Lçæ§o‡dµ’Ò6ÇìùëfiFŒÀ±y2Â8á∫˝É, but pages of it.

Is it safe to say that these files are fundamentally corrupt? Or should I be using R to open these files to see what's actually in them?

EDIT: I've never worked with a file like this. After using load() in R, how would I read the data? I have used 

> data <- load("~/filename.RData")
> data

The output is [1] "filename".

EDIT2: It appears these are gzip files saved with an .R extension. I can using load() to read the data into R. Is there any other way I can access these data files?

"filename" is now loaded and it is stored in an object of the same name. You should be able to see what it is inside by running:

filename
