Does anyone remember WINCLIP?  This allowed ARev to pass up to 191 characters from a variable into the Windows Clipboard.



I recently upgraded someone from a Windows 98 OS to Windows XP and WINCLIP no longer works.  Ancient software, I know, but if someone found a workaround or can suggest a way to push a string into the Clipboard from ARev in W XP it would be helpful.



Thanks

Dave

<QUOTE>Dave, 



The best I can do is to give you a substitute VB6 routine 

[url=http://www.state-of-the-art.com.au/DAVEH.EXE]DAVEH.EXE[/url]



Standard VB 6 exe, source:



Private Sub Form_Load()

Dim intFreeFilehandle As Integer

Dim filecontents As String

intFreeFilehandle=FreeFile

Open Trim(Command()) For Input As intFreeFilehandle

filecontents=Input(LOF(intFreeFilehandle), intFreeFilehandle)

Close intFreeFilehandle

Clipboard.Clear

Clipboard.SetText filecontents

Unload Me

End Sub



which accepts a single parameter (a DOS filespec) which the DAVEH.EXE reads and then places in the clipboard.



From AREV TCL, I tested it with (on one line)



EVAL OSWRITE "A big hello Dave Harmacek" TO "C:\TOCLIP.TXT" ; FLUSH ; 

PERFORM "SUSPEND EXIT DAVEH.EXE C:\TOCLIP.TXT"



Then open notepad and Ctrl-V



Hope this helps,



Steve
