Re: [R] Dump the "source code" of data frame
If you want to save it so that you can read it back later, then look at 'save' and 'load'.

[R] Dump the "source code" of data frame
Dear R experts, I remember a similar function existed and have been mentioned in R-help before. I tried my best to search but I really can't find it out. suppose I have an data frame like this: > somedata <- data.frame(age.min = 1, age.max = 1.5, male = TRUE, l = -1.013, > m=16.133, s=0.07656) In order to back up the data and I don't want to use write.table(), I would like to back up the "source code" of the data frame. When I apply that function (let's call it dumpdf() ), the function will reproduce the "source code" that creates the data.frame. For example: > dumpdf(somedata) somedata <- data.frame(age.min = 1, age.max = 1.5, male = TRUE, l = -1.013, m=16.133, s=0.07656) Is there any function similar to the dumpdf() above? Thank you so much!
