Clipboard

[roadrunner]

Here's my problem. I'm trying to copy some text that appears on screen in a box to the clipboard and then copy the contents back to a variable.

If I use the tab button the text gets highlighted, but I can't seem to copy that highlighted text to the clipboard?

With the mouse, I can right click and then select copy, but when I use this method in a scripe it dose not work.

any help

Put the script you try to do?

because if the box you are refering to is similar to an AutoIt MsgBox it is normal you cannot put in the clipboard the highlight part.

Send("^c") works better putting in the clipboard the whole text.
