[R] Saving environment object

[Benjamin Otto]

Hi Erik,

Yes this is what I was trying and your example or the one of luke is working
fine with me.

So now I'm not sure if this is due to an environment which takes too much
space. The environment troubling me has 644276 entries. Is this too much?

Benjamin

Can you give a small, reproducible example as the posting guide asks? 
And also provide your sessionInfo() ?

I am not able to replicate this.

test <- new.env()
assign("hi", pi, pos = test)
save(test, file = "~/testenv.Rdata")

does not give me an error.  Is this basically what you're trying?
