Readln would not work with clipboard

Post by Leevan » Tue Jan 29, 2013 10:40 pm

Hi,

I try to read data from clipboard using Readln, but it does not work.

Code: Select all

GetClipBoard>mydata
Message>mydata
wait>3
Let>k=1
Label>start
ReadLn>mydata,k,line
If>line=##EOF##,finish
Message>line
wait>3
Let>k=k+1
Goto>start
Label>finish
I will get ##NOFILE##, is there any other command I can use to read line in clipboard?

Thanks,

Libei

ReadLn is for reading files.

GetClipboard already gets the clipboard data to a variable.

If you then want to split that data out by lines into an array use the Separate command specifying CRLF as the delimiter and then use a Repeat/Until over the array of lines.
