Reading and writing to/from system clipboard
Description
Package "clipboard" provide a portable way of interacting with system
clipboard. You can write content into a clipboard to be able to paste it
into some other application. For completeness, there are also functions for
getting content from the clipboard into R. The primary motivation for
writing this package was to be able to quickly copy a content of a R object,
typically a matrix or a data frame, to be able to paste it into a table in
an Office program (e.g. MSWord, LibreOffice Writer, Excel, Calc, and alike).
Details
Functions in package "clipboard" use existing facilities, i.e. connections,
for writing into system clipboard as documented on 'help(connections)'. So
far, functions for that purposes are available only on some systems. For
example, function 'writeClipboard' is available only on Windows. In package
"clipboard" the type of the operating system is detected and appropriate
method for writing and reading into the clipboard is automatically selected.
The main function is 'cb' writes a textual representation of a single R
object into clipboard. The function is generic. Currently implemented
methods cover vectors, matrices, data frames, and tables. Users can write
their own methods. Additionally, functions 'write_cb' and 'read_cb' provide
a low-level interface.
The package is developed on Github at https://github.com/mbojan/clipboard.
