Is it possible to run R script from terminal and get created variables in RStudio environment

RStudio IDE

Hi,
I would like to use Makefile to run some R script (from terminal) and then get the created variables in RStudio environment.
Is this possible? What are my options besides sourcing the file from console?
Thanks!

you can save and load r objects with saveRDS and readRDS,
you can save an entire workspace with save.image

Can you present an example?
Let's say I have a script a.R that includes:

a <- "This is a."

And now I call it from a terminal by using Rscript a.R. So if I understand correctly I need to use saveRDS(a, "rds_file.rds") and call readRDS("rds_file.rds") from RStudio?
This seems more complicated than just source("a.R"). :confused:

You'ld need quote marks...

readRDS("rds_file.rds")
