R help - Oct 2006 - selectively load some objects from old workspace

Dear Listers:

I have a question on loading objects from workspace:

suppose I have two workspaces for two approaches. My old workspace has
some objects I need for the new workspace but I don't want to load the
whole old workspace and remove most of the old objects and get what I
want. Is there an easier way to do like this:

load "some needed obj" from old workspace, which has been implemented
in R?

thanks

Either 1. in your old workspace create a separate file using save that
contains only the variables you want to transfer (see ?save) and then
load that or
2. load the whole thing into an environment

e <- new.env()
load("myspace.rda", e)

and then copy out all the variables you want and delete e (thereby
deleting its contents).

x <- e$x
rm(e)
