Copy From Input Field

[hlstriker]

Hi, i'm new to AutoIt and these Forums.

I am creating a GUI and...

Here is what I am trying to do in this order:

1.) Someone enters text into an Input field.

2.) Push a copy button, and it copies the text from the input field to the clipboard.

Really that's about it I'm just trying to get the hang of AutoIt for now, I thought you all might be able to help me with this. I have been trying things for awhile now and can't seem to get it. I can do things like creating buttons and input fields and stuff, I just can't get the copy from the input field.

Thanks.

Hey!!! Thanks scriptkitty!

I got it working, and I learned a few new things from that code too!
