\usage{
clipboard_import(sep = "\\t", header = TRUE, dec = ".", na = c("", "NA",
"NULL"), startrow = 1, as_vector = TRUE, guess_col_types = TRUE,
date_names = "en", date_format = "\%Y-\%m-\%d", time_format = "\%H:\%M",
tz = Sys.timezone(), encoding = "UTF-8", info = FALSE)
clipboard_export(x, sep = "\\t", dec = ".", na = "", header = TRUE,
info = TRUE)
}
\arguments{
\item{sep}{the field separator character. Values on each line of the
file are separated by this character. If \code{sep = ""} (the
default for \code{read.table}) the separator is \sQuote{white space},
that is one or more spaces, tabs, newlines or carriage returns.}
\item{header}{a logical value indicating whether the file contains the
names of the variables as its first line. If missing, the value is
determined from the file format: \code{header} is set to \code{TRUE}
if and only if the first row contains one fewer field than the
number of columns.}
\item{dec}{the character used in the file for decimal points.}
\item{na}{the string to use for missing values in the data.}
\item{startrow}{\emph{n}th row to start importing from. When \code{header = TRUE}, the import will start on row \code{startrow} \emph{below} the header.}
\item{as_vector}{a logical value indicating whether data consisting of only one column should be imported as vector using \code{\link[dplyr]{pull}}. This will strip off the header.}
\item{guess_col_types}{a logical value indicating whether column types should be guessed with the \code{readr} package.}
\item{date_names}{Character representations of day and month names. Either
the language code as string (passed on to \code{\link[=date_names_lang]{date_names_lang()}})
or an object created by \code{\link[=date_names]{date_names()}}.}
\item{date_format}{Default date and time formats.}
\item{time_format}{Default date and time formats.}
\item{tz}{Default tz. This is used both for input (if the time zone isn't
present in individual strings), and for output (to control the default
display). The default is to use "UTC", a time zone that does not use
daylight savings time (DST) and hence is typically most useful for data.
The absence of time zones makes it approximately 50x faster to generate
UTC times than any other time zone.
Use \code{""} to use the system default time zone, but beware that this
will not be reproducible across systems.
For a complete list of possible time zones, see \code{\link{OlsonNames}()}.
Americans, note that "EST" is a Canadian time zone that does not have
DST. It is \emph{not} Eastern Standard Time. It's better to use
"US/Eastern", "US/Central" etc.}
\item{encoding}{encoding to be assumed for input strings. It is
used to mark character strings as known to be in
Latin-1 or UTF-8 (see \code{\link{Encoding}}): it is not used to
re-encode the input, but allows \R to handle encoded strings in
their native encoding (if one of those two). See \sQuote{Value}
and \sQuote{Note}.
}
\item{info}{print info about copying}
\item{x}{the object to be written, preferably a matrix or data frame.
If not, it is attempted to coerce \code{x} to a data frame.}
}
\description{
These are helper functions around \code{\link{read.table}} and \code{\link{write.table}} to import from and export to clipboard with support for Windows, Linux and macOS.
The data will be read and written as tab-separated by default, which makes it possible to copy and paste from other software like Excel and SPSS without further transformation.
Supports automatic column type transformation and supports new classes \code{\link{as.rsi}} and \code{\link{as.mic}}.
}
\details{
When using \code{guess_col_types = TRUE}, all column types will be determined automatically with \code{\link[readr]{parse_guess}} from the \code{readr} package. Besides, the antimicrobial classes in this AMR package (\code{\link{as.rsi}} and \code{\link{as.mic}}) are also supported.
