In this R tutorial you’ll learn how to copy a data object to the clipboard.
Introduction of Example Data
data(iris) # Load exemplifying data frame my_df <- head(iris) my_df # 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 |

clipr::write_clip(my_df) # Copy iris data set to clipboard |
clipr::write_clip(my_df) # Copy iris data set to clipboard
Press Ctrl + v.
