ClipGet to Array?

[Blackstar]

I'm trying to figure out how to get ClipGet info to Array (not _ArrayToClip) and I dont see any documention in help file on this or is it possible?

Example copy to clipboard from a text file:

Biofuel is any fuel that is derived from biomass -- which contains

recently living organisms or their metabolic byproducts. Biofuel is a

renewable energy source, unlike other natural resources such as petroleum,

coal and nuclear fuels. Agricultural products specifically grown for use

as biofuels include corn and soybeans.

All I want is each line from that paragraph in above becomes an element in the array so there should be 7 elements total so I can do comparison with another array. How do I do that?

A textfile? Why not just read it with FileRead()?

I couldn't you do a stringsplit on @CR, @LF or @CRLF? Depending on what's in the clipboard...

Are you here from themaxx?

Perhaps this may help

$content = ClipGet()
$array = StringSplit(StringStripCR($content), @LF)
If Not @error Then
    For $i = 1 To $array[0]
        MsgBox(0, '', $array[$i])
    Next
EndIf

Thanks Mhz...that one worked.
