Copy to Clipboard

[Remco Janssen]

Implement system independent copy-to-clipboard:

function getSystemInfo() {
  var info = $.os + " AE " + app.version + "/" + app.isoLanguage;
  return info;
}

if (!isWin()) {
  system.callSystem('echo "' + getSystemInfo() + '" | pbcopy');
} else {
  // shout out to Zlovatt!
  var cmdString = 'cmd.exe /c cmd.exe /c "echo ' + myString + ' | clip"';
  system.callSystem(cmdString);
}

What about getting the clipboard too? On MacOS it's system.callSystem("pbpaste"). Can you get the windows version?

also, is getSystemInfo something that should be added too?

[Remco Janssen]

Yeah, sorry for the sloppy request. I think getSystemInfo is helpful too. And it makes sense to be able to copy and paste.

The joke is that Windows doesn't have a paste command. Unless you use a third party script called paste.exe And it doesn't seem you can use clip either.

Add copyToClipboard function

Usage: aeq.copyToClipboard(stringToCopy) or aeq.command.copyToClipboard(stringToCopy); Resolves: #18
