Firstly I find this pacakge clipr
, which is very easy to use:
library(clipr)
write_clip(mtcars)
or directly:
clipr::write_clip(c(1,2,3,4,5))
To use above trick on remove computer (like a server), some additional things, like xclip, need to be installed on server:
sudo yum install xclip -y
I am planning to develop a set of online user-super-friendly Bioinformatic tool, which allows user to do analysis directly online. I believe people would not like to always export data from R session to txt file, then upload txt file online, just for a simply plot. So it's great to have a way to directly copy/paste data from R session to clipboard.
