Details

saveFrothSession saves current user-defined methods and variables within the Froth dictionary to the file specified. Built-in methods are loaded when the package is attached, so these aren't saved. Note that methods defined using froth.RDefine are currently not able to be saved.

loadFrothSession will restart the froth environment, which will erase any current user-defined methods and variables. It then loads the contents of the the file specified into the current Froth session.

Examples

  tf <- tempfile()
  froth.RDefine('rnorm', rnorm, 3L)
  saveFrothSession(tf)
  froth.reset()
  froth.parse("5 0 1 rnorm .s")
  # fr> rnorm ?

  loadFrothSession(tf)
  froth.parse("5 0 1 rnorm .s")
