Include functions for workspace cleaning #7

Closed behrica closed 10 years ago

behrica commented 10 years ago

Hi Christopher,

I wrote some functions to clean the workspace of R.

I think this is an important element to achieve reproducible research in R.

The code is very little, see it here:

https://gist.github.com/behrica/864e9424f0b6a6b72db7

The only public function is cleanWS(), which is deleting all objects and unloads all libraries, except the base libraries. This should put the R environment in an "clean" state. It would be useful to have this function in the beginning of each r script or R markdown file, which should be reproducible,

If you would find it useful to get included in your library, let me know and I could send you a pull request.

Sorry for the late reply. I'm away from my computer this week.

This function looks like it could be useful. Feel free to make a pull request to the package so that you will be properly logged by GitHub as a contributor. Or I could do the old fashioned copy and paste way. Just let me know which you prefer.

I just send you a pull request.

Great. I'm take a look in the next few days.

Have you seen the nothing package? It seems to do what you're aiming for: http://blog.r-enthusiasts.com/2014/07/25/a-package-about-nothing/
