toclip()

Usage:
toclip(x [, missing:Code, format:Fmt, sep:C1, linesep:C2]), Code,
  Fmt, C1, C2 quoted strings or CHARACTER scalars



Keywords: character variables, output
                                  Usage
toclip(x) is equivalent to CLIPBOARD <- x and puts a possibly multi-
lined CHARACTER representation of x in special variable CLIPBOARD.

When x is REAL, you can use keywords 'sep', 'missing', 'linesep', and
'format' that are permissible with paste(x,multiline:T,...).

In windowed versions, toclip() allows easy export of MacAnova data to
another application such as a spreadsheet.  For example, if x is a
10 by 5 REAL matrix that you want to export to a spreadsheet, after
'toclip(x)', you can select a 10 by 5 rectangle of cells in the
spreadsheet and select Paste in the Edit menu.  When the target
application has special requirements for representing MISSING or field
and line separators, you can use keywords to customize what gets put
on the Clipboard.

                                Examples
Examples:
  toclip(x,missing:"NA") and toclip(x,missing:"-99") put x in CLIPBOARD
    with MISSING coded as NA and -99, respectively
  toclip(x,sep:",",format:".10f") puts x in CLIPBOARD with elements
    separated by commas and with 10 decimal places
  toclip(x,linesep:":",sep:",") puts x in CLIPBOARD with elements
    separated by commas and rows separated by colons.

toclip() is implemented as a pre-defined macro.
