Is there any way to access dataafter the operation is completed?

Answer 1

A file with the name .RDatamust be created in the directory in which you run the command. When R starts from this directory, the workspace should load at startup. Alternatively, you can manually reload the workspace.

R .RData 

or, within R:

load('.RData')

, , ?save.image R script:

save.image(file="filename.RData")
