What is the read_clipboard() function in Python?
The read_clipboard() pandas function reads the content from the clipboard buffer and passes it to the read_csv() function. Basically, it returns a parsed DataFrame instance.
Syntax
pandas.read_clipboard(sep='\\s+',**kwargs)
Parameters
- sep: It represents the string or regex delimiter. The default
's+'shows one or more whitespace characters. - **kwargs: It passes the keyworded argument list of a variable length.
Return value
It returns the parsed DataFrame instance.
Code
The code below explains the read_clipboard() function in detail:
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import tkinter as tk
root = tk.Tk()
# copy to clipboard
df = pd.read_csv('Housing.csv')
# Copy data to system buffer
df.to_clipboard(excel = True)
data = pd.read_clipboard() # reading the data from your clipboard
# show data in GUI
label = tk.Label(root,text=data)
label.pack()
root.mainloop()Demo Code
Code explanation
- Line 6: We call the
pd.read_csv()function to load theHouse.csvfile in the program. - Line 8: We invoke the
df.to_clipboard()function to copy data to the system clipboard buffer. - Line 9: We use pandas’
read_clipboard()function to the read system clipboard buffer. - Line 11: We print the
Housing.csvfile data on the console.
