how can I save data I copy into a string variable

[yellowpower]

After I perform the action of copying "^C"

is it possible to save the content into a variable e.g.

send("^C")
$mycopy= those that are copied

thanks

send("^c") 
$mycopy = ClipGet()

Just one further tip, in addition to what JohnOne gave you. If you find that you are not reliably getting the correct information from the clipboard it may be necessary to add a small delay between copying the data and retrieving it from the clipboard.

For example:

send("^c")
sleep(200)
$mycopy = ClipGet()

Yes, best to have some sort of check

Func _Copy()
    ClipPut("")
    Send("^c")
    Sleep(10)
    $var = ClipGet()
    If Not ($var == "") Then
       Return $var
    EndIf
    Return False
EndFunc
