_ClipBoard_SetData($var)

$var = ''
For $i = 1 to $assets[0][0]
$var &= $assets[$i][0] & @CRLF; the "@CRLF" is optional, depends on what you want
Next

_ClipBoard_SetData($var)

I do see that a answer was provided for you, but for the sake of us noobs, can you explain a bit more what these lines are doing to the information and how the suggestion fixed your problem? Thanks.

The code posted loops through the array and assembles a single string containing all the value names, then it puts that string in the clipboard.

$var = ''

For $i = 1 to $assets[0][0]

$var &= $assets[$i][0] & @CRLF; the "@CRLF" is optional, depends on what you want

Next

_ClipBoard_SetData($var)

Reading the help file about the function IniReadSection give in-detailed explanation that if the function end successfully then the return value is a 2D array which it's first subscript (i.e, $arrIni[0][0]) is equal to the number of keys that was copied to the array which each key has a value (whether defined or not).

After the variable that is going to hold the whole string is initialized the script preform loop from the first key to the last one.

The line "$var &= $assets[$i][0]" is equivalent to "$var = $var & $assets[$i][0]" this line process each key (and not it's value) in the set and concatenating it's name as string to variable $var, lol I feel like it's useless so I'll stop here as it's the base and a few reading in the help file or the FAQ thread may clear things much better than I do...
