Copy and paste into a variable?

[MrTieDye]

Lets say you want to have AutoIt go click and drag over some text and then press ctrl+c to copy it it. Is there some way to dump that info into a string variable in the program? Thanks for any help you can provide.

clipget() and clipput() may be what your looking for.

And you just may be my bestest friend! Thanks for the quick reply. That is exactly what I was looking for.

Here's a little example if you needed it :3

Source :

Global $Clip = ''; Variable to store Clipboard data
HotKeySet ('!{Esc}','_Exit'); Alt+Esc = Exit 
HotKeySet ('!c','_Clip'); Alt+C = Set Clipboard data to $Clip
While '1'
Sleep ('100'); Makes CPU usage 0% 
WEnd
Func _Clip ()
$Clip = ClipGet (); Get data from the clipboard and set it to $Clip
ConsoleWrite ('$Clip : ' & $Clip & @CRLF); Log $Clip to console (?For debugging?)
EndFunc
Func _Exit ()
Exit 
EndFunc

Hope this helps!
