Add clipboard variable to Favorite tools
Posted: 19.08.2019, 16:49
Hello Marek,
I am using favorite tools a lot with calling my VBS scripts with %ActivSel% and %InactivDir% variables and it works very well. However last days I had to upgrade my few scripts to use also text which is in clipboard to create the folder name. Sad for me is I found out that VBS has not direct clipboard implementation. Only some terrible workarounds via html or internet explorer itself what is not something I would like to use. Some of the scripts I changed myself from VBS to autoit where I can easily get text from clipboard. Since autoit is not my "cup of coffee" I spent a lot of time to "rewrite" the scripts. It works for me now and I am calling compiled exe from freecommander. But today I started to rewrite my more complex script and it is really hard for me. Then I asked myself if you could somehow ( I guess you can easily get the clipboard value in the development environment) provide the text in clipboard into some PARAMETER variable I can use to pass it to my VBS script. Something like %Clipboard%.
It will make my life easier if you could do that somehow
Thank you for wonderfull software!
