Subject: [Rd] Wishlist - access non-text from clipboard in Windows
Message-ID: <971536df05092208135b7ff57d@mail.gmail.com>

Just wanted to post this wishlist item.

Currently one can read text from the Windows clipboard but the Windows
clipboard can hold all sorts of objects, not just text, and it can
hold them simultaneously.  For example, if one selects some cells in
Excel and then copies them to the clipboard, the clipboard will have
all the cell boundary information but R can only read the text and
will have to figure it out if it can.

It would be nice if the user could use R to access all the information on
the clipboard, not just the text.
