Select Text from Text Box

[lizardly]

I need to Select the text (file) path from a text box in an application.

I want it as a variable (string) so I can use the path for file operations.

I've seen the Send("{SHIFTDOWN}{DOWN 1}{SHIFTUP}{CTRLDOWN}c{CTRLUP}") root

but haven't had a chance to play with it yet and don't see how to get it into a variable.

Any hints?

TIA

Send("!O") ; Options

Send("p") ; Preferences

For $i = 0 to 6 Step 1 ; tabs to log file path

Send("{Tab}")

Sleep(100)

Next

; Select the old path text to put these two missing files in!

Send("{SHIFTDOWN}{DOWN 1}{SHIFTUP}{CTRLDOWN}c{CTRLUP}")

$SessionPath = ClipGet()
