Copy a defined text, foist it on a variable

[lancebrett]

Hello everyone!

Today is the 1st day i learn autoit and i get some troubles.

I want to copy a defined text from firefox and foist it on a variable.

After searching forum, i'm able to copy a text now by MouseClickDrag but I CAN'T do the next step.

Example: I copied text: "202" from firefox address. Now, i want to foist it on a variable ($abc for example) so i can do some calculation with $abc. But i can't make the text i selected become a variable.

My code is below

WinActivate("Mozilla Firefox")
MouseClickDrag("left", 428, 57, 458, 57)
$text = Send("^c")
MsgBox(0, "example","result" & $text)

Of course, it didn't work.

Any advice?
