Hi, I am just trying it now. Suppose I copy the first few lines of the table at:
http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/2006/CumulativePL.php into the clipboard by selecting them with the mouse in IE and pressing ctrl-C. Now I can just go to Excel, click on a cell and press ctrl-V and they get pasted as cells. In fact, that is usually what I would do: paste it into Excel and then transfer it to R. Is this correct? readClipboard(49340) # got number from getClipboardFormats() and then parse the HTML that I get from that. I guess what would be nice would be if one could somehow use read.table to read it in and directly get a data frame out. Regards.
