kLoad: Load and Assign an R Object

Usage

kLoad(...)
getload(...)

Arguments

...

args to pass to load

Value

the object stored in the load-ed object

Details

If multiple arguments are supplied, they will be concatenated through file.path.

Examples

dat <- data.frame( x = c(1,2,3), y=c('a','b','c') )
save( dat, file="dat.rda" )
rm( dat )
my_data <- kLoad( "dat.rda" )
## we protect ourselves from 'forgetting' the name of the
## object we saved
