Hi

I thought this would be simple, but it has foxed me!

I want to copy a jpg file to the clipboard so that I can paste it elsewhere (the actual picture, not the file name). I have tried using loop, read but the documentation says it is only for text files so I'm not surprised it did not work.

I tried using ezclip, eb.zip, but to no avail

Thanks for any suggestions

Mike

I guess you've to display the image to capture it :shock:
What about to create a dummy HTML page as a vehicle ? :idea:

Code:
FileAppend, <html><body><img src=file://C:\MyImage.jpg></body><html>, C:\LetsShowItBaby.htm ; a viewer!
Run, iexplore -k "C:\LetsShowItBaby.htm" ; display the image in IE's kiosk mode
Send, !a ; select all
Send, ^c ; copy to clipboard
WinClose ; close IE = active window


Untested !

Sleep, 500

Tweaked :wink:

For testing you can use (Win)word as a target to paste the image.

Thanks BoBo

That works a treat.

I added

, , hide

on the end of the Run IE statement and you don't even get it flashing up briefly.

Thanks again

Mike

hey this looks like a great candidate for the script showcase. Thanks!

One of you would be better at brainstorming this than I would: Are there any other file types this could be made to work for? Any other than pictures?

I would, but doesn't it seem likely that there's a small command line utility out there to do this? It seems like such a common task that someone is sure to have invented it.
