Working with the pasteboard

[zopita]

Hellow! I'm new in Macro Scheduler

I must make a macro like this:

[....]
copy...
IF PASTEBOARD IS EMPTY THEN do---
ELSE....
[...]
CLEAR PASTEBOARD
[...]

Do you help me with pasteboard funtions? Thanks!

Do you mean the 3rd party alternative called "pasteboard" and not the standard Windows clipboard?

For the standard Windows clipboard use the Macro Scheduler commands GetClipBoard, PutClipBoard, and WaitClipBoard.

To clear the clipboard
PutClipBoard>

Search the forums for "ClipBoard" for some warnings about non-text clipboard data.


I have no experience with the 3rd party "pasteboard".

One approach would be to use a pasteboard enabled application to paste and clear the pasteboard using keystrokes, mouseclicks, or whatever the application supports.

Does your pasteboard run on a Mac? If it runs on Windows and you have access to the pasteboard API, you may be able to use LibFunc.

I was wrong. It's not PASTEBOARD. It will be CLIPBOARD (I was working with QuarkXPress....)

I will try your command and search again the questions about "Clipboard" on the forums.

Thanks!
