Hi Rense, Not sure how robust this is, but maybe to get you started:
In R console: > a <- 1:10 Copy that line to or part of it to the clipboard. > system("osascript -e 'set y to the clipboard' -e 'tell application \"R.app\" to cmd y'") If course you could use this in an R function. I would opt for using a file to read in the data. As this is Mac specific, maybe a better list is R-SIG-Mac.
