Straightforward COPY and PASTE functions 1.0

Matlab's CLIPBOARD command allows the user to import and export data to and from other applications. But this command it is limited to strings, or requires some mouse work when importing numerical arrays with the 'pastespecial' option.This submission consists of two functions that make moving simple data from and to Matlab extremely easy. They are used as follows:1) From Matlab to other application: In Matlab, say copy(x). Then in the other program (eg Excel, Word, Mathematica etc), import with the local Paste function. Depending on what kind of class x is, different material is pushed to the clipboard. For instance, if x is a numerical array, the receiving function will also see numerical data, not a string (as it would when using clipboard('copy',...)).2) From another application to Matlab: In the other application, use the copy function to place content into the clipboard. Then, in Matlab, say x = paste; Depending of the structure of the data in the clipboard, the program makes x either a numerical array, a cell array, or a string.See the help provided in the two functions for some examples. The two functions are limited to numerical arrays, cell arrays, and strings. They do not support structs or special classes.Please comment if you like it or find it useful.
