hello
I am at the very beginneing of using the R program
I just don't understand how one can save a programfile
For exemple, if I type in R 23+456 and want to save this file under
a ceratin name to reload it later, i just don't get the way to do it
I can save it with the save function;I acheive to see that I have a
file with the name, but no way to understand how to reload or re-
suse it
Generally one creates an R script file in an editor and then uses the
source() function to bring it into R and be executed. Saving data is
done with the `save` function, ... what else? There is also a history
mechanism on most OSes, which you have not given us the details. It is
a separate system that at least on Windows and Macs should be
operative unless turned off. There are functions that allow you to
access this file:
?history
You should be able to get prior input from the history file during a
console session by typing the up-arrow (perhaps repeatedly).
in the official r manuel this is very badly described for first
users..
Not sure what you are using as the "Official R Manual". "Introduction
to R" would be the usual first document.
Try reading the Posting Guide which is linked at the bottom of every
posting. It has much useful information in it including what is
requested of persons experiencing difficulties who post to the list.
