Using Julia's clipboard() function with numerical data in columns

[stevengj]

@rafael.guerra

julia> str = clipboard()
"675.7  2962\r\n636.6  2961\r\n565.9  2964\r\n517.5  2956"

Do we need to use Regex to parse this into a matrix of floats or there is a simpler way?

You can use the DelimitedFiles standard library to read the data into a matrix:

julia> using DelimitedFiles

julia> readdlm(IOBuffer(str))
4×2 Matrix{Float64}:
 675.7  2962.0
 636.6  2961.0
 565.9  2964.0
 517.5  2956.0
