在剪贴板中存储字符串（复制/粘贴）

Question

I have the following character string in R:

x <- "ABC"

Now, I want to use some R code to copy this character string into my cache (ie as I could do with the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + c ).

I assume there must be something like copy_function(x) , but I didn't find any appropriate R code.

As final result, the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + v should print "ABC" .

How could I copy a character string with a function in R?

Answer 1

We can use writeClipboard(x) .

From help("writeClipboard")

Transfer text between a character vector and the Windows clipboard in MS Windows (only).

Then we can either press CTRL + V or call

readClipboard()
# [1] "ABC"
