Redirect screen output to clipboard

<< < (2/6) > >>

ChalkTrauma:
Ok.. here it is:

ClipCopy

Pretty simple to use:

* This will copy the output from dir /b to clipboard
dir /b | clipcopy

* This will do the same but echo out to stdout at the same time ( like tee )
dir /b | clipcopy -e

* This will dump the text contents of the clipboard to stdout
clipcopy -g

* So you can dump the clipboard contents to a file like this
clipcopy -g > clipboard.txt

* You can also put strings directly on the clipboard like this
clipcopy this is going to the clipboard

Well, that is about all it does, you can type clipcopy -h for usage..

I compiled it with VS 2005 SP1 so you probably need the runtime if you don't already have it, if you do need it you can get it HERE

Thanks ChalkTrauma this works fantastic  :Thmbsup:
I was able to redirect and paste to editor up to 75.000 lines (on an simple test) .... cb give me 1.000 - 3.000 lines only (512k limit)
(very limited comparison because i compare output lines only instead of real char-count, but that's enough for me to see how it works)

Thank you very much for sharing  :-*  :Thmbsup:

BTW would'nt it be a good idea to distribute your exe with your-last-post-content as ClipCopy.txt ?

Chalk, thanks for sharing  :up:

ChalkTrauma:
No problem at all, I've got a bunch of these little command line apps lying around that do really specific things, glad someone else got some use out of one of them  :D

ChalkTrauma, how about showing on screen at the same time as redirecting to a file?
