Just wanted to post this wishlist item. Currently one can read text from the Windows clipboard but the Windows clipboard can hold all sorts of objects, not just text, and it can hold them simultaneously. For example, if one selects some cells in Excel and then copies them to the clipboard, the clipboard will have all the cell boundary information but R can only read the text and will have to figure it out if it can.
It would be nice if the user could use R to access all the information on the clipboard, not just the text. ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
