Paste a file or folder after _ClipPutFile()

Recommended Posts

I can copy a file or folder to the clipboard with _ClipPutFile().

Now how do I paste it from the clipboard to a specific folder? (From an AutoIt script, of course.)

I want something a little more elegant than shellexecute windows explorer and send keys "^v", closewindow...

I cannot use filecopy or Dircopy because the source may come from copying to the clipboard from Wndows Explorer or from _ClipPutFile(). Also, is it posible to cut to the clipboard, so that when I paste from the clipboard, the original will be deleted?

Great. Just what I wanted. Thank you very much.

Is there any way to programatically determine if the file or folder was "Cut" or "Copied" to the clipboard?

(for when I "Cut" or "Copy" from Windows Explorer.)

Also, can I set the "Cut" or "Copied" state of the clipboard to make the entire thing seamless?

Getting the information of what the clipboard has on it is just that. It doesn't say how the data is there it just says what data is there. Cut in Explorer just tells the OS to move the file once pasted. It is not actually storing the data to the clipboard like cut/copy text within notepad for example. Copy is the same way. Windows Explorer is best used with 2 open windows and you just click and drag from/to new location "cut". If you are using the cut/copy it is the same as using Command Lines.

CLIP Copy STDIN to the Windows clipboard.

Standard input (stdin) is data (often text).

COPY Copy one or more files to another location•

MOVE Move files from one folder to another•

As you see there is no command line for "cut".

ROBOCOPY was added to Windows 7 that was an advanced utility to copy files and directory trees.

Also, can I set the "Cut" or "Copied" state of the clipboard to make the entire thing seamless?

I don't understand this part unless you are asking to get info telling you that the data on the clipboard is either copied or cut? The answer to that is no. (to my knowledge)

I finally figured out how to do both.

A pox on MS documentation standards.

If anyone finds this usefull or finds any bugs; I would appreciate hearing about it.

; Name...........: _ClipCopyCutFile

; Description ...: Copy or Cut Files to Clipboard (almost) Like Explorer does

; Syntax.........: _ClipCopyCutFile($sFile[,$DROPEFFECT=5[, $sSeparator = "|"]])

; Parameters ....: $sFile - Full Path to File(s)

; $DROPEFFECT - 5=Copy(default), 2=Cut

; Windows Explorer also puts:
