Hi Sumit, Here are a couple of functions I've picked up along the way and modified. The first lists all objects, their class, and their dimensions (I grabbed this from the web and modified - sorry for not acknowledging the person who first wrote it). The second is much the same but gives their size. Hope this helps:
##LS LS<-function (pattern = "") { if (length(ls(1,pat=pattern)) <1){stop("No objects are in memory")} obs <- ls(1, pat = pattern) cat( formatC("DIM/LEN"), formatC("NAME", width=max(nchar(obs)+5)), formatC("CLASS",width=16), "\n") if (length(ls(1,pat="tmp")) >0){ for (i in 2:length(obs)) { widim <- 0 ww <- eval(parse(t = paste("length(dimx(", obs[i], "))"))) for (k in 1:ww){ widim <- eval(parse(t = paste("length(dimx(",obs[i],"))+widim-2+nchar(dimx(", obs[i], ")[k])")))} cat( eval(parse(t = paste("dimx(", obs[i], ")"))), formatC(obs[i], width=max(nchar(obs))-widim+10), formatC(eval(parse(t = paste("class(", obs[i], ")"))),1, 16), "\n") }} else{ for (i in 1:length(obs)) { widim <- 0 ww <- eval(parse(t = paste("length(dimx(", obs[i], "))"))) for (k in 1:ww){ widim <- eval(parse(t = paste("length(dimx(",obs[i],"))+widim-2+nchar(dimx(", obs[i], ")[k])")))} cat( eval(parse(t = paste("dimx(", obs[i], ")"))), formatC(obs[i], width=max(nchar(obs))-widim+10), formatC(eval(parse(t = paste("class(", obs[i], ")"))),1, 16), "\n") }}} ##LSIZE lsize <- function (pattern = "",sort=TRUE) { if (length(ls(1,pat=pattern)) <1){stop("No objects are in memory")} obs <- ls(1, pat = pattern) sizes <- vector(length=length(obs)) for (i in 1:length(obs)) { sizes[i] <- eval(parse(t=paste("object.size(", obs[i], ")")))} sizes <- round(sizes/1048600,2) if (sort){obs <- obs[order(sizes)]} cat(formatC("SIZE"), formatC("NAME", width=max(nchar(obs)+5)), formatC("CLASS",width=16), "\n") for (i in 1:length(obs)) { widim <- 0 ww <- eval(parse(t = paste("length(object.size(", obs[i], "))"))) for (k in 1:ww){ widim <- eval(parse(t = paste("length(object.size(",obs[i],"))+widim-2+nchar(00.00)")))} cat(eval(parse(t = paste("round(object.size(", obs[i], ")/1048600,2)"))), formatC(obs[i], width=max(nchar(obs))-widim+10), formatC(eval(parse(t = paste("class(", obs[i], ")"))),1, 16), "\n") } cat(sum(sizes),formatC("***TOTAL***", width=nchar(sum(sizes))-widim+12),"\n")} On 9/12/07, Doran, Harold <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Is this what you want when you say "values".
