netWorkSpace Class Method

Description

Store a new value into a variable in the workspace from a file.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'netWorkSpace':
nwsStoreFile(.Object, xName, fObj, n=0)

Arguments

.Object a netWorkSpace class object
xName name of the variable to be stored
fObj file to read data from to store in the variable.
n Number of bytes to write. A value of zero means to write all the data in the file.

Details

nwsStoreFile works like nwsStore, except that the value to store in the workspace variable comes from a file. If 'fObj' is a character string, nwsStoreFile calls 'file' to obtain a file connection which is opened for the duration of the method.
