I am using (migrating to) Splus 6.2 on Windows 2000 and on Windows XP.
I have several functions written that write to the clipboard simply
using write.table. After switching to Splus 6.2 I am finding that the
documentation indicating that file="clipboard" and append=TRUE are not a
possible combination in write.table appears to be false. Unfortunately,
it appears that no matter what the setting of append, the behavior is
the same as append=TRUE. In other words, no matter what I do, I get
multiple copies of the data in the clipboard unless I paste the data
into some other application between my write.table statements. This
facility would actually be quite useful if it was anticipated, but of
course we have written functions (that work quite successfully in Splus
2000) that assume that this behavior does not occur.
Has anyone else run into this behavior?
