read_from_clipboard: Read clipboard data into R

In DanielGardiner/PHEQuickMap: Functions to create quick interactive maps

Description

A function to easily copy data into R from 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

read_from_clipboard(header = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

header	a logical indicating if a header has been copied
...	other read.table options

Value

a data.frame consisting of data copied to clipboard

Examples

# first copy data to clipboard (i.e. highlight data in spreadsheet and press ctrl + c)

# apply function to read data from clipboard into R

data = read_from_clipboard()
