Hi Bryan (and Petr),

If you want to write tsv-style data from R to clipboard on a Mac (e.g.
for pasting into Numbers), you should do:

> x1 <- matrix(1:6, nrow =2)

> clip <- pipe("pbcopy", "w")
> write.table(x1, file=clip, sep = "\t", row.names = FALSE, fileEncoding = 
> "UTF-8" )
> close(clip)
> gc()

> ?write.table
> ?connections

Adding an extra call to gc() (garbage collection) after writing to
clipboard will
close all unused connections (useful if a connection has been entered
incorrectly).

HTH,

Bill
