[R] Save/Load function()-result to file in a loop

[R. Michael Weylandt]

Load doesn't return the object you saved, but rather a character
vector with the name of that object, here "x". So you would do
something like

load("/path/to/file_A")
x # Here's your data

or more robustly

get(load("/path/to/file_A"))

See ?load (value) for details.
