Load: Load save'd objects and return them as a list

In lebatsnok/accelerate: Analyze Accelerometer Data

Description

Obects in 'file' are loaded and returned as a value (instead of creating these objects in the global environment). The value can be a list (default) or an environment (if to.list is FALSE); if there is just one object in the file to be read, it is by default unlisted and just the objects' value is returned.

Usage

Load(file, to.list = TRUE, Unlist = TRUE, spray = FALSE, delete.parent = FALSE)

Arguments

file	the file to load
to.list	if TRUE, a list is returned, otherwise an environment
Unlist	whether to "unlist" length 1 lists (default is TRUE)
spray	whether to create these objects in the global environment (default is FALSE)
delete.parent	if an environment is returned, whether to set its parent env to an empty environment (to make a smaller object)

Details

This is useful to avoid overwriting objects in your workspace, for using only parts of a file, and inspecting the contents of files before you load them. You can set your own names to the objects instead of using the ones from the file. E.g.,

new.name <- Load("manyobjects.rda")$old.name ls(Load("manyobjects.rda"))

Value

a list or environment (depending on to.list) or other object (if there is just one object saved and Unlist equals TRUE)
