R help - Dec 2009 - Trouble with read.table(clipboard)

Hi every one,
I'm having some problems with the function read.table(clipboard). I got a
spread sheet in the Excel, and than I make a command+C in the Mac, but the R
returns the message that there is no object in the clipboard.
What could have happened?

Thanks,
Diogo

Hi

did you put your spreadsheet to the clipboard? I  am not sure if trick 
with Ctrl-C followed by read.delim("clipboard") functions in Mac so
maybe
you will need to try some more elaborated procedure which was suggested 
several times here and I believe is also mentioned in Data import/export 
manual.

Regards
Petr
