Dear R Scholars
Many R users have successfully loaded and used the attached WVS RDATA file
into my R program. I would just would like help viewing, editing etc.
I wanted to include the actual RData file (which was not attached
previously)
I can successfully load the RData file:
load('WVS.RData')
https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/15QhSBkwEfHLqgZznoaqodWglXuxV4f7P
I would like help on how to view, edit and save this 2.461 MB RData file.
I am at my wits end. I apologize for asking such a basic question. I
appreciate your help in advance

For an example: # create an environment to load the .rda into... dataenv <- new.env(parent = emptyenv()) load('data.rda', envir = dataenv) # ...and load it there ls(dataenv) # see what was inside the .rda file dataenv$z <- volcano # edit the contents of the environment # save the contents of the environment to an .rda file save(list = ls(dataenv), file = 'data.rda', envir = dataenv) -- Best regards, Ivan

An -- underused and not much known -- alternative is to use attach("data.rda") in my view *the only* "legitimate" use of attach() nowadays. Martin Maechler ETH Zurich and R Core team

Gmail makes it easy to post in palin text if you are using their client. Please read the Posting Guide and I would suggest also reading and working through the examples in a good introductory tutorial on Rhelp. The "Introduction to R" that ships with all copies of R should have illustrated using both ls() and str(). -- David

When using load() with unfamiliar data, verbose=TRUE is your friend. Note that this is a numeric matrix, not a data frame. I do hope you have been told what the column names mean because the existing names suggest only that this may be a selection from a larger collection.
