How to extract object data from Rdata file via command line?

Question

Is there a way to do this? I want to write a bash script that can extract data from an object in an RData file and write it to a text file.

Answer 1

Without being too certain about the specifics of your request (please see about creating a minimal reproducible example ), does something like this work:

Assuming your.Rdata is called 'mtcars.Rdata' and contains a data.frame called mtcars and you want to write it to mtcars.csv .

You may have to change the path to where your Rscript.exe file lives.

"C:\Program Files\R\R-3.5.3\bin\Rscript" -e "load('mtcars.Rdata', env <- new.env());write.csv(env$mtcars, 'mtcars.csv')"
