Static method to load an Object from a file or a connection
Static method to load an Object from a file or a connection, which previously have been saved using save() of
class Object.
## Static method (use this): ## Object$load(file, path=NULL, ...) ## Don't use the below: ## S3 method for class 'Object' load(static, file, path=NULL, ...)
file |
Filename or |
path |
The path where the file exists. |
... |
Not used. |
Please note that no constructors are called when an Object is loaded and neither is any static class code called.
Returns a reference to the loaded Object.
Typically this static method is called as <Object>$load(...)
where <Object> is any Object class. When an Object has been
loaded, it is verified that it inherits from <Object>. If it
does not, an exception is thrown. Thus, Object$load(...) will
load any Object, but MyClass$load(...) will only load an Object
that inherits from MyClass. If loaded object is not of correct class,
an exception is thrown.
Due to a bug, likely in R itself, one can not specify the file
argument by its name, i.e. Object$load(file="foo.RData") will
not work, but Object$load("foo.RData") work just fine.
