MasonMill 0 Posted November 7, 2010 Can i copy using ctrl-a / ctrl-c then put that into a clipboard within autoit? I first started using text files to transfer text but then read about autoits clipboard function. My first script looked like this: expandcollapse popupCopyText() ;error 3 open failed ;error 4 read failed Func CopyText() ToolTip("Copying now", $tooltipX, $tooltipY) While 1 mouseclick("left", 20, 300) Sleep(3000) Send("^a") sleep(1000) Send("^c") const $IniFile = "options.ini" Dim $TXTScanFileName = @ScriptDir & "\Read.txt" Dim $newTXTScanFileName = @ScriptDir & "\temp.txt" local $tempFile = _FileCreate($newTXTScanFileName) local $fHandle = FileOpen($TXTScanFileName) if @error Then ;$fHandle = -1 consolewrite("open fail" & @CRLF) return seterror(3, 0, 0) endif sleep(100) local $fText = fileread($fHandle) if @Error Then consolewrite("read fail" & @CRLF) FileClose($fHandle) return seterror(4, 0, 0) endif FileClose($fHandle) FileWrite ($newTXTScanFileName, $ftext) $deleted = FileDelete($newTXTScanFileName) if $deleted = 0 Then consolewrite("delete fail" & @CRLF) FileClose($fHandle) return seterror(4, 0, 0) endif WEnd EndFunc but then i found this: expandcollapse popupFunc _Main() Local $hGUI, $iFormat, $iCount ; Create GUI $hGUI = GUICreate("Clipboard", 600, 400) $iMemo = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 2, 2, 596, 396, $WS_HSCROLL) GUICtrlSetFont($iMemo, 9, 400, 0, "Courier New") GUISetState() ; Open the clipboard If Not _ClipBoard_Open ($hGUI) Then _WinAPI_ShowError ("_ClipBoard_Open failed") ; Show clipboard formats available MemoWrite("Clipboard formats ..: " & _ClipBoard_CountFormats ()) ; Enumerate clipboard formats Do $iFormat = _ClipBoard_EnumFormats ($iFormat) If $iFormat <> 0 Then $iCount += 1 MemoWrite("Clipboard format " & $iCount & " .: " & _ClipBoard_FormatStr ($iFormat)) EndIf Until $iFormat = 0 ; Close the clipboard _ClipBoard_Close () ; Loop until user exits Do Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE EndFunc ;==>_Main ; Write message to memo Func MemoWrite($sMessage = "") GUICtrlSetData($iMemo, $sMessage & @CRLF, 1) EndFunc ;==>MemoWrite So is there a way to convert the ctrl-a / ctrl-c to the clipboard without using the text files?

Varian 8 Posted November 7, 2010 What Window Text are you using the Mouse Clicks for? Can you not do a ControlGetText() with ClipPut() and write to file with ClipGet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
