sigil Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 I want to use clipget() to retrieve some text from the clipboard after highlighting and copying it. This is the code that I'm using: ;main body of script func getvalue($x1,$y1,$x2,$y2) mouseclickdrag("left",$x1,$y1,$x2,$y2,5) send("^c") return clipget() endfunc About a third of the time, I get an error message saying that "OpenClipboard Failed". Why is this error happening? I'm using 3.1.1.18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might also need to add a sleep in the part of your "main body of script" right where the function returns to... before using the returned value.
