[R] save() and load()

[Shu Fai Cheung]

Hi,

You can try this:

head(irisdata)

Objects loaded by load() keep their names when being saved. In your
case, it is 'irisdata'.

You can also use verbose = TRUE to show the names of objects loaded:

load(file = "irisdataTest.RData", verbose = TRUE)

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Shu Fai
