clipr::read_path()

As a feature request, it would be convenient if clipr could also have a function to get the file or folder name of an object.

In Windows, there are ways to do this.

Thanks for this idea. Unfortunately, getting the full path rather than just the file name seems entirely platform-dependent. For example, "copying" a file on OS X and then calling pbpaste gives the file name but nothing about the larger path. clipr strives to be platform-independent so it can do the same thing regardless of being on Windows, OS X, Red Hat, etc.
