Importing multiple CSV files into one RData FILE

Question

I have multiple CSV files I would like to import into R; then save those as an initState.Rdata file; is that possible?

Currently I'm importing them as follows

Users <- read.csv('/Users/AndyD/Desktop/Data/DeakinUsersData.csv')
PagePaths <- read.csv('/Users/AndyD/Desktop/Data/DeakinPageData.csv')
Goals <- read.csv('/Users/AndyD/Desktop/Data/Deakin_Goals.csv')

Is it possible to import those and include them all in a initState.Rdata?

You can use the save() function for this:

save(Users, PagePaths, Goals, file = "initState.RData")

If you don't mind saving everything in the current session, you can also use save.image():

save.image(file = "initState.RData")

CVtune <- readRDS('initState.Rdata') ..returns this error any ideas? – Andy Donaldson Nov 29 '17 at 01:46
Any reason why you are not using `load`? See here: https://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/base/html/load.html – Tim Biegeleisen Nov 29 '17 at 01:53
I tried that and it rid me of that message ..when you combine say 3 CSV flies into an RData file do the files Need to be of the same dimensions ? Rows columns etc – Andy Donaldson Nov 29 '17 at 04:10

@AndyDonaldson You need to open a new question. Stack Overflow is not an ongoing blog with endless follow up questions. You have an answer to your initial question. – Tim Biegeleisen Nov 29 '17 at 04:15
