parse_clipb: Parse the contents in clipboard to form a tibble

In madlogos/aseskit: ASES Generic Toolkit

Description

Tables copied from spreadsheet or similar software into clipboard are usually a character vector containing '\t'. This function parses the clipboard and tries to coerce the string vector to a tibble. It is a wrapper of readr:read_table2. The arguments directly come from read_table2.

Usage

parse_clipb(var_row = 1L, col_names = var_row > 0, col_types = NULL,
  locale = readr::default_locale(), na = "NA", n_max = Inf,
  guess_max = min(n_max, 1000), progress = readr::show_progress(),
  comment = "", skip_empty_rows = TRUE)

Arguments

var_row	integer, the row index of the header row. Default 1. If no header is needed, put it 0. If NULL, it will guess the colnames.
col_names	either TRUE, FALSE or a character vector of column names.
col_types	either of NULL, a cols() specification, or a string. See vignette("readr") for more details.
locale	the locale controls defaults that vary from place to place.
n_max	maximum number of records to read.
guess_max	maximum number of records to use for guessing column types.
progress	display a progress bar? By default it will only display in an interactive session and not while knitting a document.
skip_empty_rows	should blank rows be ignored altogether? i.e. If this option is TRUE then blank rows will not be represented at all. If it is FALSE then they will be represented by NA values in all the columns.

Value

A tibble (coerced using read_table2). If fails, return NULL
