I tried Ken's suggestion read.table(pipe("pbpaste"),header=TRUE) on my Mac OS X system and it worked *without* generating any warning message.
If my experience represents the norm, and Ken's is the exception, it is so simple that no further contribution to R is needed, I would say. Thank you, Ken.
My conjecture is that it only happens when there are fewer than 5 data lines.
We still need to sort out X11. Too bad that the xclip program isn't ubiquitous.
Does Perl qualify as ubiquitous?
It is specifically not required for R at runtime: see the `Writing R Extensions' manual.
If so, the piped xclip call can be substituted for by the following:
data <- read.delim(pipe("perl -MTk -e 'print MainWindow->new->SelectionGet'"))
Works fine under Linux.
HTH, Bernhard
