Statis...:RData(3pm)

💖 Statistics::R::IO::RData — the bestie guide 💖

okay so real talk, this is the Statistics::R::IO::RData page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, section 3pm, and it's literally all about giving you object methods for RData files. yes queen, we're parsing R serialization formats today. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

Statistics::R::IO::RData — supply object methods for RData files 🦋

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 1.0002 — that's the one, no cap 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

bestie here's the whole vibe in code, copy it exactly:

use Statistics::R::IO::RData;

my $rdata = Statistics::R::IO::RData->new('.RData');
my %r_workspace = $rdata->read;
while (my ($var_name, $value) = each %r_workspace) {
    print $var_name, $value;
}
$rdata->close;

like, you make the object, you read it, you loop through your workspace hash, you close it. main character energy, start to finish. 👑

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Statistics::R::IO::RData is giving you an object-oriented interface for parsing RData files. periodt.

so what even is an RData file? it stores a serialization of a collection of named objects — typically, like, a whole workspace. these files get created in R using the save function, and they're typically named with the .RData file extension. 🍓

and psa, the contents of your R workspace can also be saved automatically on exit to the file named .RData, which is by default automatically read in on startup. the way that it just handles itself?? iconic. ✨

---

🔥 METHODS 🔥

Statistics::R::IO::RData inherits from Statistics::R::IO::Base, and it provides an implementation for the read method that parses RData files. family business, we love to see it. 🫶

• read — reads the contents of the filehandle and returns a hash whose keys are the names of objects stored in the file, with the corresponding values as Statistics::R::REXP instances. so you get back a whole hash of name → Statistics::R::REXP, chef's kiss 😭
