PCB Skill variable saved to Windows clipboard

labGeoff

I am currently running Allegro on a windows 7 machine.  Does anyone know of a way to save a skill variable to the windows clipboard?  thanks!

  • That's a great find!

    In Windows 7 clip.exe is already there so no download is needed.

    You can try this slightly simpler code:

    defun( envvar2clp ( var_Name )

    if(axlGetVariable(var_Name)

    then system(sprintf(nil, "echo %%%s%% | clip", var_Name))

    else axlUIConfirm(sprintf(nil "%s env var does not exist!", var_Name))

    ) ;end if

    ) ; end defun envvar2clp
