rvattach: Attach components of rv objects to search path

Description

rvattach

Usage

rvattach(what, name='rvattach', overwrite=TRUE, impute=FALSE, ...)

Arguments

what

an rv object to be split up into a list of sub-vectors and attached

name

overwrite

If TRUE, objects with identical names in the Workspace (.GlobalEnv) that are masking objects in the database to be attached will be deleted.

impute

If TRUE, the components of each sub-vector are imputed into the object with identical name in the Workspace and saved into the list. The object in the Workspace is not affected.

...

further arguments passed to or from other methods

Details

rvattach takes an rv object, splits it up into a list of sub-vectors (using split.rv) by their name attributes and attaches the list to the search path. For example, if the object to be processed has names x[1] and y[3], this will be split into a list of two sub-vectors, x and y, and then attached. If the option impute is TRUE, the corresponding variables with the same names are merged with the ones that are found in .GlobalEnv. If the option overwrite is TRUE, the objects with identical names in the Workspace are deleted.
