save_RDS_or_RDA: Save a single object to am RDS or RDA file

In DarwinAwardWinner/rctutils: Utility functions by Ryan C. Thompson

Save a single object to am RDS or RDA file

Description

If the output file name ends in ".rda" or ".rdata" (with any capitalization), the file will be saved using save(). Otherwise, it will be saved using saveRDS().

Usage

save_RDS_or_RDA(
  object,
  file,
  ascii = FALSE,
  version = NULL,
  compress = TRUE,
  savetype
)

Arguments

object	R object to serialize.
file	A file name or connection object to save to.
ascii, version, compress	See saveRDS().
savetype	Either "rda" or "rds". If this argument is supplied, it overrides the automatic detection of whether to use save() or saveRDS() based on the file extension.

Examples

tmpf_rda <- tempfile(fileext = ".rda")
tmpf_rds <- tempfile(fileext = ".rds")
x <- 1:10
save_RDS_or_RDA(x, tmpf_rda)
save_RDS_or_RDA(x, tmpf_rds)
# Load as an RData file
x_rda <- read_single_object_from_rda(tmpf_rda)
# Load as an RDS file
x_rds <- readRDS(tmpf_rds)
# Both loaded objects are identical to the original
identical(x, x_rda)
identical(x, x_rds)
