Thanks everyone, Jorge I used your suggestion and this works perfect.

Dear Douglas,

I'm not quite sure about that, but you could do something like:

1. Save for function in txt format 2. Use source() to load it into R

As a toy example, suppose you have function called "myfunction" which is defined as:

myfunction=funciton(x,y) x^y

Now, suppose you save "myfunction" in a text file in "C:/temp/functions", with the same name ("myfunction.txt"). To load and use "myfunction" in R, you type:

source("C:/temp/functions/myfunction.txt")
myfunction(2,3)

which result, of course, would be 8.

Another option is to save your function in the file "..\etc\Rprofile.site" as Xiaoxu LI suggested before.

HTH,

Jorge

    Hello all,

    I am fairly new to R and I have created a function that I use quit
    frequently.  I was wondering if there is away to save this
    function in an existing library so I can call it by using the
    function name once the library is loaded?

    Thanks,
    Doug
