Saving and Restoring Variables
| save, f, var1, var2, ..., varN | saves the varI in binary file f |
| restore, f, var1, var2, ..., varN | restores the varIfrom f |
| save, f | saves all array variables in binary file f |
| restore, f | restores all variables from binary file f |
Unlike f.varI = expr, the save function will create the variable varI in the file f if it does not already exist.
The restore function redefines the in-memory varI . If several binary files are open simultaneously, the f.varI syntax will be more useful for reading variables than the restore function.
Note that a single command can be used to create a binary file, save
variables varI in it, and close the file:
save, createb(filename), var1, var2, ..., varN
A similar construction using restore and openb is also
useful.
