write_to_clipboard: Write R data to clipboard

In DanielGardiner/EpiFunc: Epidemiology Functions

Description

A function to easily copy data out of R into a spreadsheet. This should not be used within a reproducible work flow, instead it should only be used on an ad-hoc basis (note: I'm not aware of the original author of this function, it was taken directly from a stack overflow answer)

Usage

write_to_clipboard(x, row.names = FALSE, col.names = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

x	a data.frame to be copied to clipboard
row.names	a logical indicating if row names should be included
col.names	a logical indicating if column names should be included
...	other read.table options

Value

data.frame copied to clipboard

Examples

# set dummy data

set.seed(2)

data = data.frame(date = sample(seq(as.Date("2017-03-01"), as.Date("2017-08-01"), 1), 20, replace = TRUE),
                  sex = sample(c("Female", "Male"), 20, replace = TRUE))

# apply function to write data to clipboard

write_to_clipboard(data)

# now paste data into a spreadsheet (i.e. open a spreadsheet and press ctrl + v)
