pandas.read_clipboard#

pandas.read_clipboard(sep='\\s+', dtype_backend=<no_default>, **kwargs)[source]#

Read text from clipboard and pass to read_csv().

Parses clipboard contents similar to how CSV files are parsed using read_csv().

Parameters:

sepstr, default ‘\s+’

A string or regex delimiter. The default of '\\s+' denotes one or more whitespace characters.

dtype_backend{‘numpy_nullable’, ‘pyarrow’}, default ‘numpy_nullable’

Back-end data type applied to the resultant DataFrame (still experimental). Behaviour is as follows:

"numpy_nullable": returns nullable-dtype-backed DataFrame (default).
"pyarrow": returns pyarrow-backed nullable ArrowDtype DataFrame.

Added in version 2.0.

**kwargs

See read_csv() for the full argument list.

Returns:

DataFrame: A parsed DataFrame object.
