Here is a function I use to get the size of objects: Here is an example output:
> my.ls() Size Mode allStores 7,303,224 list convertedStores 0 NULL f.createCluster 40,508 function x 41,672 list **Total 7,385,404 ------- my.ls <- function (pos = 1, sorted = FALSE, envir = as.environment(pos)) { .result <- sapply(ls(envir = envir, all.names = TRUE), function(..x) object.size(eval(as.symbol(..x), envir = envir))) if (sorted) { .result <- rev(sort(.result)) } .ls <- as.data.frame(rbind(as.matrix(.result), `**Total` = sum(.result))) names(.ls) <- "Size" .ls$Size <- formatC(.ls$Size, big.mark = ",", digits = 0, format = "f") .ls$Mode <- c(unlist(lapply(rownames(.ls)[-nrow(.ls)], function(x) mode(eval(as.symbol(x), envir = envir)))), "-------") .ls } On Thu, Oct 25, 2012 at 2:24 AM, Purna chander <chander...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear All, > > I wanted to extract the sizes of all created objects.
