Dear all, I was wonderin how to copy data from an Excel sheet to the R prompt.
For a single culumn it works to select the data in Excel, copy to the clipboard with ctrl-c and to use in R: ------- x<-scan() [paste data with ctrl-v (paste)] [ctrl-z, to end input] ------- But with multiple columns Excels tabs are "eaten" by the R-promt, and the numbers concatenated without separator. Is there a handy method for this? Thanks, Gerrit. -- Gerrit Draisma Department of Public Health Erasmus MC, University Medical Center Rotterdam Room AE-103 P.O.
