Clipboard Operations

The following code example shows how to add text to the clipboard and then how to retrieve it. In this example we will generate a unique GUID and then retrieve that value.

Lua

-- Copy a new GUID to the clipboard
clipboard.SetText(string.guid())

-- Retrieve a GUID from the clipboard
local buf = clipboard.GetText()

-- Show the value in a message box
ui.MsgBox("Clipboard contents: " .. buf)
