VBS Script - Paste into Notepad

[useractive]

What would be the vbs script line to paste something in notepad?

THanks,

I don't know, but do you really need to do this? Why not write a VB script that pastes something into MS-Word instead and then saves as text?

Assuming you don't have MS-Word

Reading from the Clipboard:
There's a clipboard object in Internet Explorer that should be usable. Something like:

Set oHtml = CreateObject("htmlfile&quot
sClipText = oHtml.ParentWindow.ClipboardData.GetData("text&quot
WScript.Echo sClipText

Adding it to Notepad:
I'm not sure about opening notepad and dumping data into it, but you could write the data to a sequential file (.txt) and then shell to notepad.
Again, something like:

Dim oWSHShell

' create Shell object instance for Run method
Set oWSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell&quot

' shell out a command to Open Notepad
oWSHShell.Run "Notepad " _
& """" & FilePathAndName & """" ,_
