Hi I am not sure where I get it from, but this one gives some more info then size
ls.objects function (pos = 1, pattern, order.by) { napply <- function(names, fn) sapply(names, function(x) fn(get(x, pos = pos))) names <- ls(pos = pos, pattern = pattern) obj.class <- napply(names, function(x) as.character(class(x))[1]) obj.mode <- napply(names, mode) obj.type <- ifelse(is.na(obj.class), obj.mode, obj.class) obj.size <- napply(names, object.size) obj.dim <- t(napply(names, function(x) as.numeric(dim(x))[1:2])) vec <- is.na(obj.dim)[, 1] & (obj.type != "function") obj.dim[vec, 1] <- napply(names, length)[vec] out <- data.frame(obj.type, obj.size, obj.dim) names(out) <- c("Type", "Size", "Rows", "Columns") if (!missing(order.by)) out <- out[order(out[[order.by]]), ] out } > ls.objects() Type Size Rows Columns a_vec numeric 824 100 NA aaglo data.frame 3944 50 7 ad data.frame 2072 24 4 airquality data.frame 5024 153 6 alice data.frame 7584 14 33 alp data.frame 6080 35 12 alp.v nfnGroupedData 6136 20 12 Regards Petr > -----Original Message----- > From: r-help-boun...@r-project.org [mailto:r-help-bounces@r- > project.org] On Behalf Of David Winsemius > Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2012 8:20 PM > To: jim holtman > Cc: r-help > Subject: Re: [R] problem in finding sizes of objects using a for loop > > > On Oct 25, 2012, at 10:56 AM, jim holtman wrote: > > > Here is a function I use to get the size of objects: > > > > Here is an example output: > > > >> my.ls() > > Size Mode > > allStores 7,303,224 list > > convertedStores 0 NULL > > f.createCluster 40,508 function > > x 41,672 list > > **Total 7,385,404 ------- > > That's far more elegant that the one I use; > > getsizes <- function() {z <- sapply(ls(envir=globalenv()), > function(x) object.size(get(x))) > (tmp <- as.matrix(rev(sort(z))[1:10]))} > getsizes() > > Only returns the sorted-by-size matrix of the largest ten objects, but > modifying it to return all of them should be trivial. > > -- > david. > > > > > > > > my.ls <- function (pos = 1, sorted = FALSE, envir = > as.environment(pos)) > > { > > .result <- sapply(ls(envir = envir, all.names = TRUE), > > function(..x) object.size(eval(as.symbol(..x), > > envir = envir))) > > if (sorted) { > > .result <- rev(sort(.result)) > > } > > .ls <- as.data.frame(rbind(as.matrix(.result), `**Total` = > sum(.result))) > > names(.ls) <- "Size" > > .ls$Size <- formatC(.ls$Size, big.mark = ",", digits = 0, > > format = "f") > > .ls$Mode <- c(unlist(lapply(rownames(.ls)[-nrow(.ls)], function(x) > > mode(eval(as.symbol(x), > > envir = envir)))), "-------") > > .ls > > } > > > > > > On Thu, Oct 25, 2012 at 2:24 AM, Purna chander <chander...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> Dear All, > >> > >> I wanted to extract the sizes of all created objects.
