Remove All Objects, Except Those Specified

Description

Remove all objects from the user workspace, except those specified.

Usage

keep(..., list=character(), all=FALSE, sure=FALSE)

Arguments

...	objects to be kept, specified one by one, quoted or unquoted.
list	character vector of object names to be kept.
all	whether hidden objects (beginning with a .) should be removed, unless explicitly kept.
sure	whether to perform the removal, otherwise return names of objects that would be removed.
