Clipboard cleaner tool


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

This is second project created in autoit for cleaning clipboard automatically when Ctrl + V is pressed , but facing one issue in script. While script works well in cleaning clipboard but not writing logs in correct manner, its logging same log multiple times (FYI...Filewritelog will log anything which is was copied). I am attaching source code and log file so that you guys can see code and help me in identifying the cause here.

Note: Script write to log file if Ctrl + C is pressed , but its writing multiple logs even if we press Ctrl + C once.

 

Thanks in advance

Welcome to the AutoIt forums.

As you are seeking help with your script, I have moved it to the correct section.

You can add loop in _IsPressed so program wait until key is released.
Example from help:

#include <Misc.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

Local $hDLL = DllOpen("user32.dll")

While 1
    If _IsPressed("10", $hDLL) Then
        ConsoleWrite("_IsPressed - Shift Key was pressed." & @CRLF)
        ; Wait until key is released.
        While _IsPressed("10", $hDLL)
            Sleep(250)
        WEnd
        ConsoleWrite("_IsPressed - Shift Key was released." & @CRLF)
    ElseIf _IsPressed("1B", $hDLL) Then
        MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "_IsPressed", "The Esc Key was pressed, therefore we will close the application.")
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
    Sleep(250)
WEnd

DllClose($hDLL)

Or you can do a variable that stored last writed text and when you write you should check if last text <> current text.
