for example is I mark and copy the the path of some directory, it is stored somewhere on my HD and I would like to assign it to BASH variable to be able to use it in program. How to do it?

I mark and copy the the path of some directory
How you do that ?
Sorry, I'm afraid you asked in a wrong forum.
Try a Linux one (I guess)

lets say I mark and copy this: /home/dfr/ekology


This is stored somewhere on my HD otherwise I could not paste it. I would like to assign what is stored (/home/dfr/ekology) to bash variable. This is all I would like to do ...

Again, wrong forum.
I don't think it's a UNIX Scripting issue.
Again, how do you mark and copy ? In which scripting language ?

PHV is right, the cutting and pasting of text is controlled
by the window-manager in Linux f.eks.
If you use KDE, Klipper do the storing of text.
Here is some info on how you can tweek Klipper
to do more than just store the highlighted text:

Not sure if the highlighted text is stored in any file on
the HD at all,it might just be stored in RAM...
