Hi,
I would like to use a copy cycle to copy several things.
It should be like - for this Example I use an sample Address:
Tom Wayne
Somewherestreet 5
ZIP 02488
1. I Mark something (Tom Wayne)
2. I draw a gesture (for Example Up)
3. The text will be copied and stored in a Variable 1
4. I press enter(or tick mousewheel) and mark the next text (Somewherestreet 5)
5. The text will be copied and stored in a Variable 2
6. I press enter(or tick mousewheel) and mark the next text (ZIP 02488)
7. The text will be copied and stored in a Variable 2
As you might expect i like to use this to transfer text to some kind of form.
So there should be an routing like this to mark the fields where I would like to put the text.
I played a bit with this combination - but it seems to be a little uncomfortable.
acSendKeys("^c")
acDelay(50)
local clip1 = acGetClipboardText()
iRes = acMessageBox("Mark something", "Question", 291)
if iRes == 2 then
[...]
Is there anything more handy?
Is there a way to send anything els (pictures, files..) into an variable?
acGetClipboard() only gets the text
Thanks for your Help.
Best Regards

Hi,
I did several tests with an Clipboard extentsion Tool Called Ditto.
You could assing some Keystrokes there like STRG+C+1, STRG+C+2, STRG+C+3..--> STRG+V+1, STRG+V+2... for several Clipboards
But I think it would be better to create a second/third/.. clipboard in S+ to put stuff in.
I tried with a second copy Stroke (Up+left+right mouse) / second paste (Down+left+right mouse)
------------------------------
clip1 = "" -- Clipboard1 empty
Clip2 = "" -- Clipboard2 empty
clip1 = acGetClipboardText()
acSendKeys("^c")
clip2 = acGetClipboardText()
clip2 = clip2:gsub("@", "{AT}") -- When there is an @ change to {AT}, @ is interpreted as Windows Key
acSetClipboardText(clip1)
------------------
and for paste
acSendKeys(clip2)
------------------------------
But thats not exact the way i want it to be, it would be better to have an cycle for that.
Any suggestions here?
Best Regards

I changed the code to the following - to prevent problems when copying something that includes some of those guys:
@ = WINKEY
+ = SHIFT
^ = CTRL
% = ALT
My new code:
clip1 = "" -- Clipboard1 empty
Clip2 = "" -- Clipboard2 empty
clip1 = acGetClipboardText()
acSendKeys("^c")
clip2 = acGetClipboardText()
clip2 = clip2:gsub("@", "{AT}") -- When there is an @ change to {AT}, @ is interpreted as Windows Key
clip2 = clip2:gsub("+", "{PLUS}")
clip2 = clip2:gsub("^", "{CARET}")
clip2 = clip2:gsub("%", "{PERCENT}")
acSetClipboardText(clip1)
I hope it would be usefull for some of you.
As this is just a workaround for my idea of a copy cycle / a way to have more than one clipbords, I still keep the hope that there will be someone to help me with the problem "copy cycle" as described above :-).
Thanks for your Time - and have a good weekend.
Best Regards

S+ only supports getting text from the clipboard at this point in time.
I can't think of any elegant solution to what you're trying to accomplish with the copy cycling at the moment. In the end, it's really just creating a bunch of code/variables/conditions/actions to get it just how you want it.
I use Ditto daily on all of my machines and haven't had a need to get creative in S+ with the clipboard :) |
