SaveData: Saves data to an RDS data file via a file save dialog.

In irwinsnet/firstapiR: Tools to Download and Convert FIRST API Data to R Data Frames

Description

Displays the tcltk package's save file dialog. Once the user enters or selects a file name, SaveData() will save the value passed in parameter x to an RDS data file. The dialog will initially display the current working directory (see getwd() and setwd()).

Usage

SaveData(x)

Arguments

x	An R object that will be saved to an RDS file.

Details

SaveData uses the saveRDS() function, from R's base package, to save R data. RDS files can only contain a single object. To save more than one object in single file, just put the objects in a list.

Throws an error if the selected file does not end in "RDS" (case-insensitive). Prints a message if the user cancels the dialog without selecting a file.

Value

NULL (invisibly), or NA if the user cancels the dialog without selecting a file.
