Dear list,
I am trying to understand and use the ff package. As I had some problems saving some ff objects, and as I did not fully manage to understand the whole concept of *.ff, *.ffData and *.RData with the help of the documentation, I tried to reproduce the examples from the help of ffsave. When I ran, however : (copied from the help) message("let's create some ff objects") n <- 8e3 a <- ff(sample(n, n, TRUE), vmode="integer", length=n, filename="d:/tmp/a.ff") b <- ff(sample(255, n, TRUE), vmode="ubyte", length=n, filename="d:/tmp/b.ff") x <- ff(sample(255, n, TRUE), vmode="ubyte", length=n, filename="d:/tmp/x.ff") y <- ff(sample(255, n, TRUE), vmode="ubyte", length=n, filename="d:/tmp/y.ff") z <- ff(sample(255, n, TRUE), vmode="ubyte", length=n, filename="d:/tmp/z.ff") df <- ffdf(x=x, y=y, z=z) rm(x,y,z) message("save all of them") ffsave.image("d:/tmp/x") I get: Error in ffsave(list = ls(envir = .GlobalEnv, all.names = TRUE), file = outfile, : the previous files do not match the rootpath (case sensitive) Whats wrong here? Should this not be working as I did not change anything in the code?
