You could write a wee wrapper and give the file an attribute. For
example,
copy <- function (file = "clipboard", sep = "\t", na.strings = c("NA",
"*"), as.is = T, ...)
{
myX <- read.table(file, sep = sep, na.strings = na.strings,
as.is = as.is, ...)
attr(myX, "copy time") <- Sys.time()
myX
}
I did this some time ago, but I must admit that I find it of limited
value.
