Hello, I have a R-script, R1, that contains some variables and some R-functions. I want to include/require this script into another R-script, R2, so that I can access the the variables and functions that are inside script R1 in script R2. Is this possible? Script R1 could for example contain information about database connections, paths etc. that would be used in several R scripts. I do not want to change all my R-scripts every time I change the password of my database for example!

Or maybe better: Make a package of the objects in "R1". Then you can use library(R1) in your script R2.

Hello,<br>
<br>
thanks for the good suggestion. This is indeed what I was looking for:<br>
As an example:<br>
<br>
R1.R<br>
a <- 1:10<br>
<br>
R2.R<br>
source("R2.R")<br>
a<br>
<br>
Gives the result, using my typical self-compiled installation of R
1.4.0:<br>
<br>
<pre>user@host:~> /opt/R-1.4.0/lib/R/bin/R.bin --vanilla <
R2.R<br><br>R : Copyright 2001, The R Development Core
Team<br>Version 1.4.0 (2001-12-19)<br>...<br>Type
`demo()'' for some demos, `help()'' for on-line help,
or<br>`help.start()'' for a HTML browser interface to
help.<br>Type `q()'' to quit R.<br><br>>
source("R1.R")<br>> a<br> [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
