Any command to copy text from clipboard to notepad without opening it

[sree161]

Hi all,

I am new here and i am searching for some command or script which can copy text on clip board to note pad without opening it (i am planning to copy by just clicking on notepad). Can u help on the same by giving me some idea.

Thanks in advance,

Sree161.

I don't know about not opening notepad.   But here is what I use to copy from clipboard to notepad:

#include <Date.au3>
#include <file.au3>

Run('"C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe"')
Sleep (4000)
WinActive("Untitled - Notepad")
Send("!EP")
Sleep (8000)
Send("!FA")
Sleep (2000)
WinActive("Save As")
Send("YourPath_and_FileName.txt")
Sleep (2000)
ControlClick("Save As", "", "&Save", "Left")
Sleep (3000)
ProcessClose('notepad.exe')

I use this coding daily.  Works great for my needs.  Some others most likely will have a better solution.

Confused, you want to copy the clipboard to the notepad that's already open?

Use ControlSetText. The example for ControlSetText does exactly what you want, just take out the Run("notepad.exe")

Exactly what I was going to suggest.  It's like the example was made to order.

define better solution?  Not opening clipboard? not opening notepad? not opening both?

Hi all,

I just wanted to copy text from command prompt to note pad (which is already created on desktop) without opening note pad. i mean to say i want to copy text which is in clip board just by selecting the targeted notepad. If i select it should paste text automatically into that notepad.

What do you want to copy from command prompt. Commands can sent their output directly to a txt file on your desktop. Then when you doubleclick it will open in notepad.

Create a hotkey, set it to copy text, then have it append to your text file.

try this

$tempvar=""

do
    $a=ClipGet()
    if $a<>$tempvar Then
        FileWrite("log.txt",$a&@CRLF)
        $tempvar=$a
        EndIf
    sleep(500)
