| clipboard | R Documentation |
Transfer text between a character vector and the Windows clipboard in MS Windows (only).
getClipboardFormats(numeric = FALSE) readClipboard(format = 1, raw = FALSE) writeClipboard(str, format = 1)
numeric |
logical: should the result be in human-readable form (the default) or raw numbers? |
format |
an integer giving the desired format. |
raw |
should the value be returned as a raw vector rather than as a character vector? |
str |
a character vector or a raw vector. |
The Windows clipboard offers data in a number of formats: see e.g. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/desktop/dataxchg/clipboard-formats.
The standard formats include
| CF_TEXT | 1 | Text in the machine's locale |
| CF_BITMAP | 2 | |
| CF_METAFILEPICT | 3 | Metafile picture |
| CF_SYLK | 4 | Symbolic link |
| CF_DIF | 5 | Data Interchange Format |
| CF_TIFF | 6 | Tagged-Image File Format |
| CF_OEMTEXT | 7 | Text in the OEM codepage |
| CF_DIB | 8 | Device-Independent Bitmap |
| CF_PALETTE | 9 | |
| CF_PENDATA | 10 | |
| CF_RIFF | 11 | Audio data |
| CF_WAVE | 12 | Audio data |
| CF_UNICODETEXT | 13 | Text in Unicode (UCS-2) |
| CF_ENHMETAFILE | 14 | Enhanced metafile |
| CF_HDROP | 15 | Drag-and-drop data |
| CF_LOCALE | 16 | Locale for the text on the clipboard |
| CF_MAX | 17 | Shell-oriented formats |
Applications normally make data available in one or more of these and
possibly additional private formats. Use raw = TRUE to read binary
formats, raw = FALSE (the default) for text formats. The
current codepage is used to convert text to Unicode text, and
information on that is contained in the CF_LOCALE format.
(Take care if you are running R in a different locale from Windows.)
The writeClipboard function will write a character vector as
text or Unicode text with standard CR-LF line terminators. It will
copy a raw vector directly to the clipboard without any changes.
For getClipboardFormats, a character or integer vector of
available formats, in numeric order. If non human-readable character
representation is known, the number is returned.
For readClipboard, a character vector by default, a raw vector
if raw is TRUE, or NULL, if the format is
unavailable.
For writeClipboard an invisible logical indicating success or
failure.
