Details

Output files are saved with an "rObj_note_YYYY_MM_DD_HHMMSS" naming convetion. By default, files are saved as csv files to a '_save_df' subdirectory relative to the working directory and include a time stamp in the file name using utils::write.csv. The default folder can be changed with the folder argument. Inclusion of a time stamp in the file name enables saving the same object at multiple steps through an R script, but can be turned off with the timeStamp argument. To also save object as rData file, set rData=TRUE.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
df <- data.frame(x=c(1:100))
saveDF(df, 'test_note')
# }
# NOT RUN {
# }
