You can rename it as you please, but naming it as .RData and putting it=20=

in the same folder as R binary is, will cause R to load that image file=20=

by default at startup.

You can double click on the file and OS X should pop up a dialog asking=20=

you "which app to use" (say..),  just choose R.

I hope this helps you.

You can rename it as you please, but naming it as .RData and putting
it in the same folder as R binary is, will cause R to load that image
file by default at startup.


You can double click on the file and OS X should pop up a dialog
asking you "which app to use" (say..),  just choose R.


I hope this helps you.

<excerpt>I use the Carbon version of R.

Is there any problem with renaming the .RData file e.g. in RData? And
is there any application on OS X like 'creator type convertor' to make
the RData file doubleclickable?

Anyway, loading the workspace file .RData via menu works fine!

<excerpt>Hi all,


I recently updated my system from Mac OS 9.1 to OS X (Version 10.1).

How can I use my currently invisible .RData files (created with R
1.3.1)

on the new system?

Is there a way to make these files visible/readable on Mac OS X?

</excerpt>

Hmm. I had no problem whatsoever reading my old OS 9 files, nor some
Windows

_Rdata files and Linux .Rdata files... What are you trying to do? I
usually

open files by=20


<excerpt>load("path/to/my/files/.RData")

</excerpt>

It shouldn't be a problem that the file is hidden. You just have to
know

where it hides... :-)


But then, I'm running R from the command line under X11 and I'm used
to the

UNIX way of things. If all those file paths are irritating for you, you

could start up OS 9 and rename your files to something else (without a
dot

at the beginning), then load by


<excerpt>load(file.choose())

</excerpt>

which ought to appeal to you :-)



Hope that helps (if not, write back)
