Copy a Path from Clipboard to 'R'

Description

I often have to work under Windows, where file paths cannot just be pasted into the code, so I adapted code from https://www.r-bloggers.com/2015/12/stop-fiddling-around-with-copied-paths-in-windows-r/. Under Windows, the de-windowsified path is copied to the clipboard.

Usage

clipboard_path()

Value

The de-windowsified path.

Note

It makes only sense to call clipboard_path in an interactive R session.
