Walter,
Here is what I do in similar situations. I am on WinXP but this should be
similar on other systems (I hope).
1. I start R with the new .RData workspace (usually by double-clicking on
it).
2. I go to File < Change Dir menu item.
3. I change the directory to where the old .RData is.
4. I do attach(".RData")
The old .RData is no in position 2 of the search path. You can see what is
there by doing ls(2). Then you can copy anything, say a data frame named
dd, by just doing dd <- dd.
Cheers,
Andy

[R] Moving data from one workspace
to another
08/01/2007 04:27

Hi,
Suppose I have a dataframe in one workspace (a .RData file) dedicated
to one project. I then create a new workspace (a new .RData file) for
another project but I want to move or copy the dataframe to the new
workspace. How can I do this efficiently? Just do a dump and then a
source? Is there another way?
Thanks,
Walt Paczkowski
