Read a Dataframe from Clipboard

Data types are double, integer, numeric, and character. All factors are converted to character before the dataframe is returned. If header is false, the dataframe is returned with all the rows and column names in the pattern "Vindex," where "index" is the position of the column.

read_clipboard(header = TRUE, log = "DEPRECATED", log_details = "")

Arguments

header	True if data has a header.
log	(Deprecated) Log this function call to a log.md file?
log_details	(Deprecated) If log is TRUE, additional notes to include with the log entry.
