 |
|
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

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

| Code: | MyImage = C:\My.jpg
Run, "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" -k %MyImage% ; viewer !
WinWaitActive,%MyImage% ; display the image in IE's kiosk mode
Send, ^a ; select all
Send, ^c ; copy to clipboard
WinClose ; close IE = active window
ExitApp |
Tested.

Tweaked 
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

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. |
