R help - Nov 2002 - Redirecting Output to Clipboard

Hi R Gurus,

I have a question that some of you may have dealt with before.

I would redirect output to the clipboard, rather than to the screen.

Is this possible?  Is a function already written for it, or is it just
an option in print?


Any help would be appreciated.

Also, thanks to all those who have helped develop this great software,
or who make
the effort here to support the user-base.

Please reply to my address as well as the list (since I am currently not
subscribed).

So I guess you are on Windows?

There is no option to do this.  We have thought about it (one could use
sink and make a `clipboard' connection) but the clipboard is not really a
standard device across versions of Windows (especially between 16-bit
versions and NT-based versions).  It looked to me too much like
trial-and-error.

It's something a Windows programmer could contribute to R, I guess.
