Want to put text on clipboard

[rush4hire]

I have a script that is in another language and in that script I want it to open a small application that will simply read a text file and put the contents on the clipboard . so I hit ctrl+v and there is the text.

Seems like something that has probably been done before a million times . so someone should have this right ?

Meantime I'll keep searching .

thx

Thx larry I got it.

$file = FileOpen("CopyXfer.txt", 0)
If $file = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "This application is only for the bot to use. It simply copies text so you can paste it.")
    Exit
EndIf
$line = FileReadLine($file)
ClipPut ( $line )
FileClose($file)

this program rocks !!!

Stupid vbs makes you do all kinds of wacky things to get around it's limitations . you can't put stuff on clipboards with vbs . but this application can and vbs can write to file and hit an exe

autoit can DO ANYTHING (even more then) vbs can.

since autoit can use the ScriptControl object to call vbs directly
