Well, yes, some arguments twisting might be required as for my german locales / german version of Excel the following works even for empty cells and real valued entries:
read.table(file("clipboard"), sep="\t", dec=",")
V1 V2 V3 1 1.2 NA 2.3 2 3.4 4.5 5.6
...which is of course the same as
read.delim2(file("clipboard"), header=FALSE)
except for possible variations in the fill and quote settings. (What happens if you have empty cells in the last columns, or cells with the text "Don't do this"?)
Yes, you are right, thanks!
