File in TEAMS stands as ".RData" implying no name, but being RData? But when I download it, it gets saved as RData, implying name=RData but no (dot) ending, implying no specific file type? I try to open it through RStudio, and get the error "File is rather binary than text so cannot be opened by the source editor". I open through RStudio File -> open file.. then selecting my file and get this error. I tried to open through commands and get the same error. I can manage to load into enviroment to see variables. But i want to see the whole source code, which my other mate can see.
I tried renaming the file to .RData as a result, I get asked if I want to load it into my global environment. I cant access the source code. Also tried renaming like .rda .r .txt
Hi @kazzam,
Welcome to the RStudio Community Forum.
An .Rdata file is in binary format and contains all the data objects present in the Global Environment when the R session was terminated. It does not contain the R commands (code) that created or modified those objects. Check to see if the R code was saved in a separate R script file ending in .R or .r.
If none exists, the command history may have been saved in a file named .Rhistory. The contents of this file can be copied into the RStudio code editor and tidied-up, and saved for re-use.
