Hi,
I always use source for this kinds of things. If you have a lot of code,
you could consider wrapping it into an R-package. This would allow you
to load all the code by using the library(myPackage) command. But this
might be unnecessary for your situation.
cheers,
Paul

I've gotten to the point wih an R script where I would like to encapsulate
several blocks of codes in R functions.
In order to keep the top level script simple I would like to put them in a
separate file. This should help the readability of the top level main script.
Is source(...) the best way to load those functions in the top level script?
For example, in the top level script
Line#
01 source("FunctionsFile.R")
02
03 callfunctionfromfunctionfile(...)
Thanks for any feedback and insights.
Also, I found the following:

But are there other guides out there that speak to good practices when
developing in R?
