how do I reprex reproduce a data frame in R?
I sometimes have to copy data from Excel into R. The workflow goes something like this:
# Step 1: Highlight Excel spreadsheet to be copied into R
# Step 2: Run this command to get the data into R
excelss <- read.delim("clipboard") # for Windows
If I print(excelss) I get my data frame
Excel.Col.1 Excel.Col.2
1 A 24
2 B 5
3 C 53
The question is: How do I take this data frame output, and permanently save it in my script? What reprex commands do I use? So that the next time I open the script the data frame will be right there, and I don't have to open Excel and go through the whole copy/paste routine again?
Or another way to put it. How do I take console data frame output and save it to my editor?

Why can't you usereadxl::read_excel()? Copy/paste does not lend itself to reproducible workflows (nor does it facilitate eventual automation/scripting).

@hrbrmstr for my case I want the data directly in the script and don't want to have to reference the excel file the data originally came from or load any packages on top of base-R. I work with sensitive data and the Excel file (and that workflow you mention) causes issues with security (if I can leave it at that).

Use read.table(header = TRUE, sep = "t", quote = """, dec = ".", fill = TRUE, comment.char = "", text="...") i.e. other parameters beside text= are set as in read.delim() Usually I use read.table(header=TRUE, text="..."), e.g. for your data:
excelss <- read.table(header=TRUE, text=
" Excel.Col.1 Excel.Col.2

excelss <- read.table(header=TRUE, text=
