How to Apply the write_clip Function in R (Example Code)
In this tutorial, I’ll explain how to apply the write_clip function to copy data to the clipboard in R programming.
Creation of Example Data
data(iris) # Load iris data set my_df <- head(iris) # New data with head of iris my_df # Print head of iris # Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species # 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.2 setosa # 2 4.9 3.0 1.4 0.2 setosa # 3 4.7 3.2 1.3 0.2 setosa # 4 4.6 3.1 1.5 0.2 setosa # 5 5.0 3.6 1.4 0.2 setosa # 6 5.4 3.9 1.7 0.4 setosa |
data(iris) # Load iris data set my_df <- head(iris) # New data with head of iris my_df # Print head of iris # Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species # 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.2 setosa # 2 4.9 3.0 1.4 0.2 setosa # 3 4.7 3.2 1.3 0.2 setosa # 4 4.6 3.1 1.5 0.2 setosa # 5 5.0 3.6 1.4 0.2 setosa # 6 5.4 3.9 1.7 0.4 setosa
Example: Using the write_clip() Function to Copy a Data Frame to the Clipboard
clipr::write_clip(my_df) # Copying head of iris data frame to clipboard |
clipr::write_clip(my_df) # Copying head of iris data frame to clipboard
Now, you may paste the data using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + v.
# Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species # 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.2 setosa # 4.9 3 1.4 0.2 setosa # 4.7 3.2 1.3 0.2 setosa # 4.6 3.1 1.5 0.2 setosa # 5 3.6 1.4 0.2 setosa # 5.4 3.9 1.7 0.4 setosa |
# Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species # 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.2 setosa # 4.9 3 1.4 0.2 setosa # 4.7 3.2 1.3 0.2 setosa # 4.6 3.1 1.5 0.2 setosa # 5 3.6 1.4 0.2 setosa # 5.4 3.9 1.7 0.4 setosa
