mithandir1 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) I am working on an automation script. On one screen I can copy a line of information to the clip board. The line has several items seperated by a TAB once it is copied to the clip board. I need to asign values to varibles based on what is in the clipboard. The data from the clipboard looks like then when pasted into notepad. All of the space between item are TABSORD-5448909 ROS0277892 NPC08256 Issued Unchecked 0002 01 FSTG Pickface 2 BAT0068217 5/21/2012 6:00:09 PM 2 0 Each 0 1 Each 0 The items I need are the first, 5th and 6th. I need something like this: $order = first item $check = 5th item $line = sixth item Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am at a loss on how to parse this data.
