Hi Patrick,
From the help: "save writes a single line header (typically "RDXs\n")
before the serialization of a single object".
If the file sizes are the same (see Eric's message), then the problem
may be due to different line terminators. Try serialize and unserialize
for low-level control of saving/reading objects.
Rgds,
Robert

What do you see at the OS level?
i.e. on windows
DIR rawData.rds
on linux
ls -l rawData.rds
compare the file sizes on both.

From a Windows R session, I do

31736 bytes # from scraping a non-reproducible web address.
saveRDS(rawData, file = "rawData.rds")
Then copy to a Linux session
rawData <- readRDS(file = "rawData.rds")
rawData
[1] "rawData"
object.size(rawData)
112 bytes
rawData
[1] "rawData" # only the name and something to make up 112 bytes
Have I misunderstood the syntax?
It's an old version on Windows. I haven't used Windows R since then.

I've tried R-3.5.0 and R-3.5.1 Linux versions.
In case it's material ...
I couldn't get the scraping to work on either of the R installations
but Windows users told me it worked for them. So I thought I'd get
the R object and use it. I could understand accessing the web address
could have different permissions for different OSes, but should that
affect the R objects?
TIA
