save {base} | R Documentation |
save
writes a external representation of R objects to the
specified file. The objects can be read back from the file at a later
date by using the function load
.
save.image()
is just a short-cut for ``save my current
environment'',
i.e., save(list = ls(all=T), file = ".RData")
. It is what also
happens with q("yes")
.
save(..., list = character(0), file = "", ascii = FALSE, oldstyle = FALSE) save.image(file = ".Rdata", oldstyle = FALSE)
... |
the names of the objects to be saved. |
list |
A character vector containing the names of objects to be saved. |
file |
the name of the file where the data will be saved. |
ascii |
if TRUE , an ASCII representation of the data is
written. This is useful for transporting data between machines of
different types. The default value of ascii is FALSE
which leads to a more compact binary file being written. |
oldstyle |
logical. Should the old (0.90.1 or earlier) format be used? |
x <- runif(20) y <- list(a = 1, b = TRUE, c = "oops") save(x, y, file = "xy.Rdata") save.image() unlink("xy.Rdata") unlink(".RData")
