Hi all,

I'm saving then clearing the clipboard. Sometimes my script runs too fast, I guess, and doesn't wait for the clipboard to clear.

How can I pause to wait for the clear clipboard at the end of this script?

Code:
ClipSaved:=ClipboardAll         

 ClipBoard=

The code that follows this clipboard code is:
Code:
Send,{Home}+{End}       ;Select line
   Send,^x                 ;copy selected text to clipboard
   ClipWait,2

My failure way:

Code:
Check:
if clipboard !=  ;Does not equal nothing
  goto check


There's probably a better way to do this :P

Nice -- it seems to work well. Is there a failsafe to make sure I don't wind up in an endless loop?

Not tested
Code:
Loop 50{
if clipboard !=  ;Does not equal nothing
  Continue
else
  Break
}


Or..

Code:
Loop 5{
if clipboard !=  ;Does not equal nothing
  {
    sleep 10
    Continue
  }
else
  Break
}

Code:
oclip := clipboardall
clipboard := ""
Sendplay {end}+{home}^x
clipwait, 1
msgbox % clipboard
clipboard := oclip

seems to work for me.

Sometimes it does the right operation and sometimes it just dumps the old clipboard on the ^v. Is there any other way to force it?
