[R] extracting a R object from an R image

[Bert Gunter]

You can't. You can only save and load whole .RData files. You can, of
course, save and load separate R objects in separate files. But note
in ?save.image:

"For saving single R objects, saveRDS() is mostly preferable to
save(), notably because of the functional nature of readRDS(), as
opposed to load(). "

You may wish to search on "data serialization" (e.g. on Wikipedia) or
similar to better understand the underlying ideas.
