Hi, I have a problem with R. My R software crashed, so that every time I restart R I get the message 'Fatal Error: Unable to restore saved data in .Rdata'. I can re-install R, is it possible to obtain the objects saved in my workspace or is it a lost cause. Thanks Stella [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
You probably don't need to re-install R; just remove or rename the file .RData (it is probably located in your home directory (or "My Documents" on MSWin). Then R should start without problems. As for recovering the workspace, I believ that is a lost cause (unless you study the file format and use a binary editor to extract/repair objects in the file -- and even then, if the file was compressed, you may be out of luck). -- Bj??rn-Helge Mevik
