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
---
```python
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()

## Code explanation
* Line 6: We call the `pd.read_csv()` function to load the `House.csv` file 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.csv` file data on the console.
