source('clipboard')

In the code below the first source command works fine, but the second
does not, as can be seen from the error message. Is there a way to
have the second command work?

I am using R 2.6.1 on Windows Vista.

(The command that is in the clipboard is just "x <- 3")
Error in file(srcfile$filename, open = "rt", encoding = srcfile$encoding) :
  'mode' for the clipboard must be 'r' or 'w'
Thanks for the help.

That looks like a little bug.  I'll fix it in a day or two, but in the 
meantime you can work around it with code like this (which you'd 
probably want to put in a function, not type all the time yourself):

f <- file("clipboard", open="r")
source(f, echo=T)
close(f)
