Use clipboard from VBScript

Question

I am looking for a method to place some text onto the clipboard with VBScript. The VBScript in question will be deployed as part of our login script. I would like to avoid

Answer 1

Here's another version of using the "clip" command, which avoids adding a carriage return, line feed to the end of the string:

strA= "some character string"

---

Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.Run "cmd /C echo . | set /p x=" & strA & "| c:\clip.exe", 2

---

s = "String: """ & strA & """ is on the clipboard."
Wscript.Echo s

I've only tested this in XP. clip.exe was downloaded from Link and placed in C:\.
