| dump {base} | R Documentation |
This function takes a vector of names of R objects and produces
text representations of the objects on a file or connection.
A dump file can be sourced into another
R (or S) session.
dump(list, file="dumpdata.R", append=FALSE)
list |
character. The names of one or more R objects to be dumped. |
file |
either a character string naming a file or a
connection. "" indicates output to the console. |
append |
if TRUE, output will be appended to
file; otherwise, it will overwrite the contents of
file. |
At present the implementation of dump is very
incomplete and it really only works for functions and
simple vectors.
The function save is designed to be used for
transporting R data between machines.
x <- 1; y <- 1:10
dump(ls(patt='^[xyz]'), "xyz.Rdmped")
unlink("xyz.Rdmped")
