I noticed Chris posted a little util for command line copying and it reminded me that I had gotten one a while back that was much better, and supported, among other things, paste using a pipe, ie, winclip -p | foobar.exe

I completely forgot where I got it, so I went looking, and in the process remembered all the other awesome command line stuff I've come across. So here I present to you a list of sites that have command line stuff. I imagine you already know some of these, but I doubt you know all of them.

http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/utilities.shtml
Pstools and handle are the two I'm talking about. All the stuff here is great though, especially the process viewer and the autorun viewer.

http://www.dmst.aueb.gr/dds/sw/outwit/
Unix style tool programming for windows. The clipboard app that I referred to is here.

http://thunder.prohosting.com/~ladi/e_cmd32.html#top
These aren't quite as useful as the sysinterals ones, but I think the enum tools are nice.

http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/
Win32 native ports of GNU utilites. The usual stuff.

http://www.cmdtools.com/
An the big one, a big listing of all sorts of command line utilites, by a guy who really knows them.

Also, if you've never heard of it, powerpro
is a fantastic shell extension that does just about everything, notes, clipboard management, hotkeys (well, don't need THAT ), menus, toolbars, and on and on and on.

I hope you find these useful, maybe in your scripts or maybe alone, like I did.

That's a great list, thanks. It's good that the source code for the clipboard utility and the ODBC access utility is included on http://www.dmst.aueb.gr/dds/sw/outwit/ ... I might be able to apply some of that for future improvements.

One of the links above seems not correct (contains an unnecessary dot)

powerpro

Savage + Google is your friend

Heh, oops. My dot finger got itchy. I find that handle especially useful, when I can't figure out why windows won't let me delete something.

There's also perl or python from http://www.activestate.com/.
