StrClb

Author: deguix (talk, contrib)

Description

Requires: LogicLib header file and System plug-in.

Version: 2.0.1.

Makes an action with the clipboard. This function can clean the clipboard, set or get a value to/from clipboard or swap values.

How To Use

Syntax

${StrClb} "ResultVar" "String" "Action"

or

Push "String"
Push "Action"
Call StrClb
Pop "ResultVar"

Parameters

ResultVar

Variable where the value from the clipboard is retrieved when Action is "<" or "<>". If the clipboard is empty or filled with non-recognizable data as text at the time, an empty value is returned.

WARNING: This value requires a variable, even when it's not needed. In this occasion, the return value is an empty string. You should reserve a variable for this occasion.

String

String to set to the clipboard when Action is ">" or "<>".

NOTE: The value will always be considered text.

Action

Specifies an action to do with the clipboard. The value of this parameter can be the following:

empty value

Clear clipboard.

>

Set the value from the String parameter to the clipboard.

<

Get the value from the clipboard to ResultVar parameter.

<>

Swap the value from the String parameter with the clipboard's, which is returned to ResultVar parameter.

Example

${StrClb} $0 "This is just an example" ">"
${StrClb} $0 "" "<"
;$0 = "This is just an example"
 
${StrClb} $0 "This is another example" "<>"
;$0 = "This is just an example"
 
${StrClb} $0 "" ""
;$0 = ""
