Hi all,

I am still pretty much a newbie at this..

Is there some function that returns the string in the windows clipboard?

e.g.

clipboardstring=os.clipboard()

(any string in the clipboard would be returned by  os.clipboard() and copied

to clipboardstring).

Hello, Rolf -

I just threw together a DLL module that might work for you:

  http://www.hotlinkfiles.com/files/1185875_8g0yx/clipboard_1.zip

  Usage:

    require "clipboard"

    -- Retrieve and print the clipboard's contents:

    print(clipboard.text())

    -- Assign a new string to the clipboard:

    clipboard.text("Hello World")

HTH,

- Jeff

Be seeing you

grrr waaa
