copy a file then paste

[ok1397]

is there a way to copy a file? for example "C:\test.txt" and then paste the file path somewhere else? will it stay in memory? I've tried filetocopy "C:\test.txt" but instead of pasting the file path it pastes the first line of the file??? Help please

Could you be a little more specific on what you're trying to accomplish?

I create a text file in Procomm, open Internet explorer and sendkeystr the file name (including path) in a field. But what's happening is that when sendkeystr types the file it's not all complete. for example it would type L:\Document\te instead of L:\Document\test.txt, it never types the file name complete. Of course i'm using winfocus for the browser, below is part of the code. Any ideas?

while not feof 2
fgets 2 sNLine
strlen sNLine iLen
lLen = iLen

if strfind sNLine sNAccnt iNPos ;get naples account number
;usermsg "%s" sNAccnt
substr sNCheck sNLine iNPos+14 10 ;read next 10 characters for check number
sNCheck = StripSpaces(sNCheck)
;usermsg "%s" sNCheck
substr sNAmount sNLine iNPos+25 10 ;read next 10 characters for check amount
sNAmount = StripSpaces(sNAmount)
;usermsg "%s" sNAmount
substr sNDate sNLine iNPos+36 8 ;read next 8 characters for check date
sNDate = StripSpaces(sNDate)
;usermsg "%s" sNDate
substr sNVoid sNLine iNPos+45 1 ;read next 1 character to check if it is a "V" for void check or blank for good check
;sNVoid = StripSpaces(sNVoid) ;do not stripspaces since of not a void check need to leave blank.
;usermsg "%s" sNVoid
substr sFiller30 sNLine iNPos+46 30 ;read next 30 characters for check filler
sFiller30 = StripSpaces(sFiller30)
;usermsg "%s" sFiller30
substr sFiller8 sNLine iNPos+77 8 ;read next 8 characters for check filler
sFiller8 = StripSpaces(sFiller8)
;usermsg "%s" sFiller8

if isfile sNFileName ;if file for naples exists write to file
finsblock 6 80
strfmt sNOutPut "%s%s%s%s%s%s%s" sNAccnt sNCheck sNAmount sNDate sNVoid sFiller30 sFiller8 ;output to file
strreplace sNOutPut "`n" "" ;strip New line
strreplace sNOutPut "`r" "" ;strip Carriage return
fputs 6 sNOutPut
endif

endif

endwhile

fclose 2

if isfile sNFileName
fclose 6
endif

Are there any length limits on the field you're pasting into? What happens if the script pastes into an open Notepad or Wordpad window?

Hi everyone, i'm using strtoclip to copy the file name and then sendkey CTRL 'V' to paste file name and seems to be working fine. Thank you for all your help.
