Hello Dear R-help Members,

I have noticed that when pasting text with "tab" in it to the R console it
eliminates the tab. Whereas, when pasted into the R Editor, the tab is
preserved.
For example, pasting this:
"1997 7680"
In the R Console will result in:
"19977680"

Is there a way to preserve the tab?
This would allow (for example) to use read.table with a table copied from
website/libre-office/excel such as:

a = read.table( text=
"
1 2
3 4
")
a

I understand I can use readClipboard directly, but I wonder if there is a
way to use it while the text is kept in the R Editor.


With regards,
Tal
