Hello R-Help! I've looked around and have not found: A simple(short) way to hide functions and variables from the global environment. What i want is for a few of them to only be accessable from the scriptfile they're in. I probably could do fun things with environments , but that seems quite a hassle.
The simplest and best way to do this is to write a package.
After an hour i can say it is neither simple nor short nor will it work at all at the moment ERROR cannot change to directory 'testpack' -> tried to use the build command from pretty much everywhere
Forget about that, i'm stupid and can't use the tools available...
You can also use local() around the code in a script, but it gets messy when you want to export more than one thing.
I think local isn't quite what i imagined.

As example: I have a file that gets me stuff from the database and creates an R object from the results, plus some functions on that object. Now i want the objectrelated stuff to be global, while the functions and variables i use for accessing the database shall be hidden.
