Title: SOLVED: Simple clipboard request
Post by: nickodemos on December 07, 2010, 07:04 PM

I have looked everywhere. While I found one software that was nice and worked well it was not what I really wanted. CopyPasteXP20

What I need is a simple way of Copying text to the clipboard and then when I paste back to something it paste in the order I copied/cut in.

IE I copy 1,2,3,4 I want to past back 1,2,3,4. So far all I can find is clipboard programs that want to expand the clipboard to hold in memory all text copied. That I don't need. Once pasted back to something it should be deleted.

You may want to take a look at my ClipTrap application and see if you can put it to use for you.

Nope. Not what I needed. Like I mentioned before I would love it to copy a unlimited amount of simple text data. But it has to paste it back from the first thing copied on it's own and delete it from the list.

So say I copied 100 items to the program. The first thing I paste is the first thing I copied and then it is deleted automatically from the internal list. The second thing I paste is the second thing I copied and it is deleted from the list.

Basically I want to copy data and then paste it back in the order copied without having to choose what to paste. It just moves on the the next thing on the list and removes once pasted till there is nothing left from what I copied.

Admittedly this has limited use but I have seen many other people asking for something similar on my hunt for a program like this. This is a perfect idea for moving data on a spread sheet form.
