[R] Loading functions in R

[Christos Hatzis]

The recommended approach is to make a package for your functions that will
include documentation, error checks etc.
Another way to accomplish what you want is to start a new R session and
'source' your .R files and then to save the workspace in a .RData file, e.g.
myFunctions.RData.

Finally

attach(myFunctions.RData)  

should do the trick without cluttering your workspace.

Subject: [R] Loading functions in R

Hi all,

This information must be out there, but I can't seem to find it.  What I
want to do is to store functions I've created (as .R files or in whatever
form) and then load them when I need them (or on startup) so that I can
access without cluttering my program with the function code.  
This seems like it should be easy, but....

Thanks!

Jeff
