Read in a list previously saved to an ASCII file by various R functions such
as dput, dump, and writeList. The latter can render
lists in a convenient PBSmodelling format. The function readList
detects the format automatically.
For information about the PBSmodelling format, see writeList.
Usage
readList(fname)
Arguments
fname
file name of the text file containing the list.
Value
Returns a list object from ASCII files originally formatted in one of the
following ways: "D" = created by the R functions dput or dump; "R" = R list object that uses ‘structure’ (e.g., Windows History file); "P" = PBS-formatted file (see writeList); "C" = comment-delimited file (e.g., Awatea/Coleraine input files).
Warning
When importing a list in the PBSmodelling ("P") format,
if two list elements share the same name, the list will import
incorrectly.
