Coding Snack Download: Redirect screen output to clipboard

blog clipart
Usually we redirect output on command prompt screen to file eg dir /b /s >c:\filelist.txt but is there way to redirect those output directly to clipboard?

DC Member ChalkTrauma presents us with his cool tool to do this, ClipCopy:

* This will copy the output from dir /b to clipboard
dir /b | clipcopy

* This will do the same but echo out to stdout at the same time ( like tee )
dir /b | clipcopy -e

* This will dump the text contents of the clipboard to stdout
clipcopy -g

* So you can dump the clipboard contents to a file like this
clipcopy -g > clipboard.txt

* You can also put strings directly on the clipboard like this
clipcopy this is going to the clipboard

Well, that is about all it does, you can type clipcopy -h for usage..
