R help - Nov 2008 - invoking user-defined function

Dear list,

Can somebody tell me how to invoke user-defined functions from script
files during run-time?
Basically I have (almost) one function per script file.

I am thinking of something like

#include   in C++
import      in Java/Python
use          in Perl

No, I don't need my functions every time R is started.
Neither I am thinking about writing building my functions into
packages.
I just want to reference my functions during batch processing.
That's all.

Thanks in advance.

As you already pointed out that you do not wish to build a
pacakge, the most simple way is to use source() to read the
function definition.

Philipp,

thanks for the tip.

source("path-to-my-script")

did the trick.
