 |
|
I've a question to ClipWait:
Is it also reasonable to use the ClipWait command, when you give some data to the clipboard by a variable?
Example:
Clipboard =
Clipboard = %var_abc%
ClipWait, 0.5
...or only when the Clipboard receives data by Ctrl + c? |

I would change your ClipWait to a longer value.

This Will Wait Indefinatly Untill the Clipboard contains data
| Code: | Clipboard =
Clipboard = %var_abc%
ClipWait |

When the script assigns data to the clipboard, it's never necessary to use ClipWait. This is because the data is always saved to the clipboard prior to executing the next command.
By contrast (as you suspected), when you send Control-C, sometimes the target application requires extra time to finish putting its data onto the clipboard (especially if the data is large). That would be a good time to use ClipWait. |

Thank you for your answers!
...so it must be also possible to use this construct to remove leading and trailing spaces 
AutoTrim, On
Clipboard = %Clipboard% |
