There are three ways to save objects from your R session:

Saving all objects in your R session:

The save.image() function will save all objects currently in your R session:

save.image(file="1.RData")

These objects can then be loaded back into a new R session using the load() function:

load(file="1.RData")

Saving some objects in your R session:

If you want to save some, but not all objects, you can use the save() function:

save(city, country, file="1.RData")

Again, these can be reloaded into another R session using the load() function:

load(file="1.RData")

Saving a single object

If you want to save a single object you can use the saveRDS() function:

saveRDS(city, file="city.rds")
saveRDS(country, file="country.rds")

You can load these into your R session using the readRDS() function, but you will need to assign the result into a the desired variable:

city <- readRDS("city.rds")
country <- readRDS("country.rds")

But this also means you can give these objects new variable names if needed (i.e. if those variables already exist in your new R session but contain different objects):

city_list <- readRDS("city.rds")
country_vector <- readRDS("country.rds")

Alternatively  when you want to save individual R objects  I recommend using saveRDS    You can save R objects using saveRDS  then load them into R with a new variable name using readRDS   Example     Save the city object saveRDS city   city rds             Load the city object as city city  lt - readRDS  city rds      Or with a different name city2  lt - readRDS  city rds     But when you want to save many all your objects in your workspace  use Manetheran s answer
