I agree that the difference between Mac and others WRT clipboard is a bit
annoying. I'll see if I can fix that.
If you do, can you leave a way to read from the X11 primary selection for
those who like to use X11 applications on Mac OS? I'm not objecting to
file="clipboard" changing its meaning, but "X11_clipboard" is taken, so
perhaps "X11_primary" or some such.

Thanks,

I agree with Simon that copy paste is the easiest way to go.
However, because I was unable to remember the read.table(pipe("pbpaste"))
command and wanted to give instructions to students that were platform
independent, I created a little function (read.clipboard) that works on PCs
or Macs . It is available in the psych package:
"read.clipboard" <-
function(header=TRUE,...) {
MAC<-Sys.info()[1]=="Darwin" #are we on a Mac using the Darwin system?
if (!MAC ) {if (header)
read.clipboard<-read.table(file("clipboard"),header=TRUE,...)
else read.clipboard<-read.table(file("clipboard"),...) }
else {
if (header) read.clipboard<- read.table(pipe("pbpaste"),header=TRUE,...)
else read.clipboard<- read.table(pipe("pbpaste"),...)}
}
With the addition of a sep="," option, it can also read csv copied files:
"read.clipboard.csv" <-
function(header=TRUE,sep=',',...) { #same as read.clipboard(sep=',')
MAC<-Sys.info()[1]=="Darwin" #are we on a Mac using the Darwin system?
if (!MAC ) {if (header)
read.clipboard<-read.table(file("clipboard"),header=TRUE,sep,...)
else read.clipboard<-read.table(file("clipboard"),sep,...) }
else {
if (header) read.clipboard<-
read.table(pipe("pbpaste"),header=TRUE,sep,...)
else read.clipboard<- read.table(pipe("pbpaste") ,sep,...)}
}

Hi,
There's many ways to do it. I would suggest using comma separated values
as a "bridge" filetype.
I find copy/paste more convenient for most simple tables - simply select
the table in Numbers, press <Cmd><C> (Copy) and then read the clipboard in
R:
read.table(pipe("pbpaste"))
Cheers,
Simon
From Numbers, save your data as a .csv file (comma separated value).
Then, in R, import the data from the file using:
read.csv(file.csv)
That should be it,
Best wishes,
E.

Hi ,
I have some data in Numbers, which is a data managing software for Mac
OS. How can I import them to R ?
Or how can I import my data from R to Numbers ? Any interfaces between
R and Numbers or something ?
I am a newbie so if the question is toooooo simple, please take it easy.
Thanks!
