Saving R objects (code) in .R files (R genetic programming)

Question

I\'m using R for genetic programming with the RGP package. The environment creates functions that solve problems. I want to save these functions in their own .R source files. I

Answer 1

The way I understand your question, you'd like to get a text representation of the functions and save that to a file. To do that, you can divert the output of the R console using the sink function.

sink(file="MyBestFunction.R")
bf_str
sink()

Then you can source the file or open it using R or another program via your OS.

EDIT:

To append a comment to the end of the file, you could do the following:

theScore <- .876

sink(file = "MyBestFunction.R", append = TRUE)
cat("# This was a great function with a score of", theScore, "\r\n")
sink()

Depending on your setup, you might need to change \r\n to reflect the appropriate end of line characters. This should work on DOS/Windows at least.
