moving string to clipboard

[erezlevi]

hi all,

I am trying to move a string into the clipboard in order for another application to retrieve it. I am using the following:

#include <ClipBoard.au3>

local $hMemory

$erez=1234

MsgBox (0,"this:",$erez)

$mem=_ClipBoard_SetDataEx ($hMemory, $erez)

MsgBox (0,"this is the clipboard",$mem)

but I get a zero instead of the number 1234. any idea?

Hi,

If you need to set a simple text data, then you could use ClipPut(1234)

hi, how can i clear the clip board before puting the value?

No need to clear, Clipboard contents are overwritten. See AutoIt help

$erez = "1234"
ClipPut($erez)
MsgBox(0,"Reading from clipboard",ClipGet())

No need to clear

Maybe he wants to check if the clipboard contain what he put there?

To clear the clipboard just use empty line:

ClipPut("")
