Jamie,
Try it as:
data2 - read.table(pipe('pbpaste'), header = T)
I have a read.clipboard() function defined in ~/.Rprofile:
read.clipboard - function(){read.table(pipe('pbpaste'), header = T)}
Also see the Clipboard section of ?pipe.
Cheers,
Kevin

Hi I'm a mac user. I have problems loading data from mac excel in R.
I'm using these script:
library(utils)

but this is the message that I have from R_
Error in open.connection(file, r) : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In open.connection(file, r) :
clipboard cannot be opened or contains no text
More complicate then that is that sometimes it works sometimes
no...
I'm very confuse any help?
