Hi Jeff, The way I do this is to place all the options that I want, along with functions I've written that I always want available, into the "Rprofile.site" file. R always loads this file upon startup. That file is located in the etc/ folder. E.g., on my computer, it is at: C:\Program Files\R\R-2.2.1\etc\Rprofile.site . This is explained in section 10.8 of the R-intro.pdf manual that comes with R.
If you only want the functions available sometimes, then use Christos' suggestions. -- Matt On 1/31/07, Christos Hatzis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > 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. > > -Christos > > Christos Hatzis, Ph.D. > Nuvera Biosciences, Inc. > 400 West Cummings Park > Suite 5350 > Woburn, MA 01801 > Tel: 781-938-3830 > www.nuverabio.com > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Forest Floor > Sent: Wednesday, January 31, 2007 10:41 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [R] Loading functions in R > > Hi all, > > This information must be out there, but I can't seem to find it.
