R help - Feb 2010 - pickle in R

Hello all!
I was wondering if there is a way to pickle an R object into a file
like it is possible in python? Such as you have an complicated R
object(not a dataframe) , you use a function to write it to a file and
than you have a function where you can retrieve the object from that
file later on.

Thanks

Christoph

Those functions objects in an ASCII format. To save things in a binary
format, see also:

?save
?load
