Here are two small clipboard functions for PowerShell. Get-ClipboardText gets the current text in the clipboard while Out-ClipboardText will send text to the clipboard.
Example of use:
# copy text to the clipboard Get-Service | Select-Object -First 1 | Out-String | Out-ClipboardText # get text from the clipboard Get-ClipboardText
| function Out-ClipboardText { | |
| [CmdletBinding()] | |
| param ( | |
| [Parameter(ValueFromPipeline,Mandatory, Position = 0)] | |
| [string] $Text | |
| ) | |
| Add-Type –AssemblyName 'PresentationCore' | |
| [System.Windows.Clipboard]::SetText($Text) | |
| } |
| function Get-ClipboardText{ | |
| Add-Type –AssemblyName 'PresentationCore' | |
| Write-Output ([System.Windows.Clipboard]::GetText()) | |
| } |
