[R] Copying tables from R to Excel

[David L Carlson]

If you looked at the documentation for R2HTML you might have noticed that there is no function HTML.matrix. Perhaps your recommendation from an unnamed source is out of date? Assuming you loaded the package with library(R2HTML) as Ivan suggested, the command would be

HTML( summary(iris), file("clipboard", "w"), append=F )

Which will work just fine as long as you are using the Windows operating system. More technically, HTML() is a generic function with methods (156 in this case) for many different data types including matrices and tables.
