If file 'geoFeatures.RData' contains an object with name '"geoFeatures', it is loaded if you do:
load("geoFeatures.RData"); However, when you do: geoFeatures <- load("geoFeatures.RData"); it will be loaded, but immediately overwritten because you create a new object with the same name. Note that load() returns a character vector of the object *names* loaded. Here is an example illustrating what is going on: > x <- 1; > save(x, file="foo.RData"); > rm(x); > res <- load("foo.RData"); > res [1] "x" > str(x); num 1 > x <- load("foo.RData"); > str(x); chr "x" You can easily load your data file into a new environment as: > library("R.utils"); > env <- loadToEnv("foo.RData"); Then 'env' will be an environment containing your data, e.g. > ll(envir=env); member data.class dimension objectSize 1 x numeric 1 32 See also saveObject() and loadObject() in R.utils. /Henrik On Fri, Jun 11, 2010 at 4:15 PM, Joris Meys <jorism...@gmail.com> wrote: > Read the posting guide please. > > You can perfectly save and load the RData file.
