How to run a program and copy text to the clipboard Topic is solved

[Moaz93]

Hi everyone,
I'm running a program that requires me to enter a Serial number every time I start it (it's not a bug). So can i start it and automatically copy my SN to the clipboard so I can paste it right away?

any way I use this .bat file:
@echo off
start "Program" "C:\Program Files\program\program.exe"
start "SN" "C:\Program Files\program\Serial number.txt"

so it opens the text file and the program, but I want to copy it right away without having to switch to the text file and close it

However, the program for some reason disappears after the splash screen, but when I run it from the shortcut or the start menu it starts normally, I think it's the batch file issue....

So, can I make an exe file that launches the program and copy the serial number (XXXXXX) to the clipboard? is it possible and how please?

thanks.

Hallo,
try this:

Code: Select all

Run, C:\Program Files\program\program.exe
FileRead, Clipboard, C:\Program Files\program\Serial number.txt

or that:

Code: Select all

Run, C:\Program Files\program\program.exe
Clipboard = XXXXXX
