Hello,
There is support for the clipboard on Windows 7.
Also, note that on Windows your solution leaves a connection open so
maybe the following is better.
# copy the next line
C:\Program Files\R\R-3.0.3
clipb <- file("clipboard")
winpath <- readLines(clipb)
close(clipb)
And, just to avoid backslashes altogether,
fun <- function(x) gsub("\\\\", "/", x)
fun(winpath)
Hope this helps,
Rui Barradas

Does R on windows have clipboard support? I can do this on Linux:
> readLines(file("clipboard"))
[1] "C:\\Program Files\\R\\R-3.0.3"
- that's from a copy of a path with only single slashes in. But
help(connections) on my linux system doesn't mention the Windows
clipboard....
Some ppl on SO have assorted solutions involving Windows scripting tools
that tweak the clipboard so you can Ctrl-V a modified value:
