; SendToClipboardAsContents ; Mark Breault, 2005-08, 2008-08 ; AutoIt v3.2.12.1 ; ; Purpose ; Copy the contents of any plain-text file (regardless of its file ; name extension) to Windows Clipboard. ; ; Setup ; Compile this script; save the .exe in Program Files. ; Put a shortcut to the .exe in your SendTo folder. ; Rename the shortcut "Clipboard as contents". ; ; Usage ; Right-click any plain-text file (regardless of its file name ; extension) in Windows Explorer; choose Send To | ; Clipboard as contents; then paste. ; ; Notes ; IMPORTANT: FileRead() reads plain-text files only. The script no ; longer attempts to discriminate between text and non-text files; ; non-text files are simply not copied. ; Checks $CmdLine[0] for the presence of a command line parameter; ; if there isn't one, e.g., if the script was run directly rather ; than via Send To, reading $CmdLine[1] gives an out-of-range error. ; ISSUES: Sometimes reports an error writing to the Clipboard when ; no error occurred. ; This script is open source software. If $CmdLine[0] < 1 Then MsgBox(16, @ScriptName, "Launch this program via Send To") Exit EndIf $filespec = $CmdLine[1] If Not ClipPut(FileRead($filespec, FileGetSize($filespec))) Then MsgBox(16, @ScriptName, "Error writing to Windows Clipboard") EndIf
