[R] Assigning a new name to object loaded with "load()"

[Ivan Calandra]

Hi,

A bit late with my answer, but another possibility is to use to 
saveObject() / loadObject() functions from R.utils. I find it much 
easier to use than save() / load()

Example:
library(R.utils)
x <- 1:5
saveObject(x, file="test.Rbin")
y <- loadObject("test.Rbin")
identical(x,y)

HTH,
Ivan
