Clipput a file

[WhOOt]

ey...

i'd like, to clipput a file, like this

Func _captureclip()

$number = iniread("C:\Screenshots\ini.ini", "ini", "ini", "")

$number = $number - 1

$file = "C:\Screenshots\Screenshot\" & $number

file

clipput($file)

EndFunc

but as the smart scripter can see, i get the text 'C:\Screenshots\Screenshot\" & $number' in my clipboard..

my question is

How do i put a file into the clipboard, with autoit? and is it even possible?

;Captureclip doesnt work
Func _captureclip()
    DllCall("captdll.dll", "int", "CaptureScreen", "str", "dump_full.jpg", "int", 85)
    $number = IniRead("C:\Screenshots\ini.ini", "ini", "ini", "")

First you have the use of "ini" too many times ( i believe)

The actual problem.... I think its here

filemove("dump_full.jpg", "C:\Screenshots\"& "ini" & $number & ".jpg")

.....

$file = "C:\Screenshots\Screenshot\" & $number

the location of these are diffferent

Oke, i've cleaned my script out, totaly.

Now only the most important is left.

expandcollapse popup

global $number = "Screenshot"
global $checkname = "0"
global $number = "1"

while 1
    hotkeyset("^f", "_capture")
    hotkeyset("^d", "_captureclip")
    hotkeyset("^n", "_name")
    sleep(70)
wend

;the capturer, wich saves the Screenshots to C:\Screenshots\
func _capture()
;DllCall is what makes the Screenshot.
DllCall("captdll.dll", "int", "CaptureScreen", "str", "dump_full.jpg", "int", 85)
dircreate("C:\Screenshots")
filemove("dump_full.jpg", "C:\Screenshots\Screenshot.jpg")
endfunc

func _name()
    EndFunc


;Captureclip doesnt work
Func _captureclip()
DllCall("captdll.dll", "int", "CaptureScreen", "str", "dump_full.jpg", "int", 85)
dircreate("C:\Screenshots")
filemove("dump_full.jpg", "C:\Screenshots\Screenshot.jpg")
    $file = "C:\Screenshots\Screenshot.jpg"
    $file_text = FileRead($file,FileGetSize($file)) 
    ClipPut($file_text)
EndFunc;==>_captureclip



;If you get errored :)
func _error()
msgbox(0, "Error", "Error")
endfunc

I've still got a prob, with the Captureclip... i really dont understand it :S

EDIT: The captureclip output is : ÿØÿà

if i output it in notepad.

Thanks

k.. guess your file you want loaded in the clipboard is a picture and not readable text.....

Don't think you can load that by just reading the file or defining its name. You probably need to load the picture with a program that can display it and then load it into the clipboard.

i dont think we understand each other... maybe i dont understand you

but i want to output the file, as if i pressed ctrl+c on it.

then press ctrl+v to output it.

= copy the file from one place to another...

Hope i express myself clearly enough..

you missed the .dll call... you need the speceficed dllfile

I attached it

captdll.dll

$file = "C:\Screenshots\Screenshot.jpg"
    $file_text = FileRead($file,FileGetSize($file)) 
    ClipPut($file_text)

Just to clarify.

JdeB is correct with what he has stated. What he should have said though, you absolutely cannot FileRead() a jpg file, and you absolutely cannot ClipPut() a picture. A jpg is a compressed picture, so it is binary, not text. AutoIt cannot directly read binary.

Now since you have a jpg in a variable, then there is no known method, unless a DllCall could be used to add it to the clipboard. Or as JdeB has mentioned, script a program that can handle the graphic for you.

If you mean something else, then it is not displayed in this thread.

You could use something like, _ClipPutFile if it is a actual file\ picture and if you are wanting it saved to the clipboard file wise then the DLL or even a COM mabey the best route.
