Possible to copy text to clipboard through script?

I'm currently creating a temporary textPath and copying that to the clipboard with the app.copy() method. Is there a way to just simply copy the text directly to the clipboard rather than having to do it through copying an object?

Im not a fan of scripting the clipboard what do you need to to this for?

Javascript or function to copy text to clipboard in Acrobat forms

Hello, I have a docuement that has a set of SQL procedures listed as text files. These procedures spread over many pages and there are often errors copying the text into SQL.
Ideally, a button to copy a set of text to clipboard is the best solution - I haven't had any luck finding a Javascript to do this, nor can I see how to. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
Thanks

That you can't do. You need to select the text by hand.
There is an option to select text in the document using a script, but you
can only select one word at a time using it.

Append copyright text to copied text in clipboard

Is it possible in RH6 to append a copyright string to the
text that a user has just copied to the clipboard, so that when
they paste it, they get the text they copied, plus the copyright
string? The old WinHelp application that I am converting to HTML
help had this feature - I believe the old project was authored in
RoboHelp, but have no idea on how they included the copyright
string. I haven't found anything in the help that references
functionality like this, nor have I found anything online.

Hi,
Make use of READ_TEXT and SAVE_TEXT FM to get the additional text and add to the existing text.

Is it possible to copy text to the clipboard in Illustrator via Javascript ?

I am working on a very basic script that exports coordinates from Illustrator.
At the moment I am just outputing the values via $.writeln()
I was wondering if I could copy the output values to the clipboard. If so, what
am I looking for in the API ?
Thanks,
George

For an actionscript project I will need to animate a few hundred objects to certain destinations. These destinations are given by a designer who works on the look and feel of things in Illustrator.
I would like to make it as simple as possible for the designer to adjust things visually in Illustrator, then he can get a snippet to test in Flash as well.
Thank you very much for the applescript idea!
I'll use something like:
app.system("osascript -e 'set the clipboard to \"" + code + "\"'");

Is it possible to copy text from word, paste it in InD and bring the footnotes with it?

Is it possible to bring in footnotes from Word without linking to the word file?
Thanks for the help!

Is it possible to bring in footnotes from Word without linking to the word file?
No -- copying from Word to InDesign uses the regular interapplication clipboard, and is copied as plain unformatted text.
"Without linking to the Word file" ... well, it is a user preference (in the Preferences panel, no less) to link to text documents or not. I think you could defeat the automatic linking if you import the entire file into a new ID document and then copy out just the part you need (and that would include footnotes as well as any and all other formatting).

Reader: retry upon error copying text to clipboard

Dear Adobe,
since years I'm seeing the same behaviour on different machines: I select text in a PDF opened in Reader, hit ctrl+c and once upon maybe every 5 occasions a window pops up "an error occured while copying the data to the clipboard". I click "OK", press ctrl+c again and it works.
Here's my feature request: if such an error happens, simply try a second time for yourself before bothering the user. Obviously don't turn this into an endless loop if there's a real problem. but since it usually works the 2nd time, the error can't be severe.
BTW: I have no idea if this forum is the right place to post such product enhancement suggestions, but I failed to find any other way.

OCR - Optical Character Recognition was performed on this document, which was originally scanned as an image. Unfortunately it was originally scanned at a low resolution, and that led to many many many characters being "misread" by the OCR engine.
This is a common mistake when people scan documents. Most scanners are setup for scanning pictures, and they neglect to change the settings when scanning text documents, or just use Acrobat to scan the document and do the OCR in the process. Unfortunately, it's "broken" from a copying standpoint, and a conversion standpoint as well, since the converter will make a Word document with the available text, which as you can see... is pure gibberish.

Bhanu,
I've modified the previous message with a correction that, I had used this for uploading Activity lines Longtexts.
One more thing: After I faced some problem, I used split text in the code. i.e., Splitting the longtext into several lines (72 char each). Show these code lines to your ABAPer, may be he might be able to draw some clues.
In the BDC lines alongwith other fields the gold line below
PERFORM FILL_BDC_DATA       USING ' ' ' ' ' ' 'BDC_OKCODE' '=MX07'.
PERFORM FILL_BDC_DATA       USING ' ' ' ' ' '   'BDC_CURSOR' 'QMICON-LTAKTION(07)'.
PERFORM FILL_BDC_DATA       USING ' ' ' ' ' '   'VIQMMA-MATXT(07)' FS_FIELD-MNTXT7.
PERFORM SPLIT_LONGTEXT USING COL_COUNT.
Code for Form SPLIT_LONGTEXT is attached herewith (MATXT1 to MATXT7 are longtext split into 7lines )
Best of luck

Applets and clipboard (copying text)

I've done some small games like chess that work directly in browser as applets. During game moves are printed out to normal JTextArea component. Idea and much used feature so far have been that at the end of game players can simply copy move list to clipboard and save/use them as wanted.
But now it seems that after Java 6 update 24 it is no longer possible to copy text from textarea to clipboard? It is possible to select all text with crtl+a but ctrl+c does nothing. Is there any way how people could get text to their clipboard from (unsigned) applet?
Thanks!

How do I copy text from a Spotlight search result quicklook window?

Is it possible to copy text from the quicklook windows that appear when you hover over a Spotlight search result? It would be useful to be able to copy, say, a phone number or email address straight from the address book card that appears in Spotlight. The only options I see are to display the text in large type and to Facetime (for phone numbers) and to perform mapping functions for addresses; simple copying seems to be disabled for some reason.
I am using Spotlight in OS 10.7.5.

set the clipboard to item 1 of (get name of (static text of group 104 of UI element 1 of scroll area 1 of group 4 of window "Account Summary" of application process "Safari"))

How can I copy text from pdf file to Pages or Word?

I recently changed to Lion. When I try to copy pdf text from either Preview or Adobe reader into either Pages or Microsoft Word I get all undecipherable characters. This did not happen in previous OSX versions. Is there a fix?

I have found that some pdf's are "protected" so that it is not possible to copy text. Does this happen to all your pdfs, or just some?
If it is just some of the pdfs, then this might help:

How can i copy text from web link title in safari

Hi. How can i copy text to clipboard from web link title in safari in ios 7? Thank you
Like this:

Once you have selected text, there will be blue circular buttons on the corners. Get the ones on the end and move them in towards the text that you want to copy. The problem that you seem to be facing where you are is that this text is a hyperlink. Because of that reason, you will have a difficult time tapping on the text without activating the link. I'm not sure you will be able to do that.

Copy text from PO to SO

Hi All,
Is it possible to copy text from the Purchase Order to Sales Order? I checked the Tcode VOTXN i do not see any text definitions in there for PO. Also I realized the text objects are not the same for PO and SO. Can any one confirm if the text copy is possible from PO to SO please?
I looked in SDN posts but did not find any helpful ones. Any suggestions are much appreciated.
Thank in advance,
Karuna.

Hi
Yes u can do it.
I don't believe it's possible to link PO texts to SO texts, but perhaps it can create a routine in order to get the text from PO and copy to SO.
Anyway if it can use the abose solution I can give you this my experience:
In my enviroment there's an external system creates the sales order via BAPI, he problem was some time the texts weren't formatted well, so I've inserted the following lines in a user-exit USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE in order to format the text again:
IF VBAK-VBELN IS INITIAL. "If sales order is being created
    SELECT SINGLE SPRAS FROM KNA1 INTO TXT_LANG
      WHERE KUNNR = VBAK-KUNNR.
    TEXT_NAME = 'XXXXXXXXXX'.
CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'        "Read text
    EXPORTING
      ID                      = ID
      LANGUAGE                = LANGUAGE
      NAME                    = NAME
      OBJECT                  = OBJECT
    IMPORTING
      HEADER                  = HEADER
    TABLES
      LINES                   = TLINES
    EXCEPTIONS
      ID                      = 1
      LANGUAGE                = 2
      NAME                    = 3
      NOT_FOUND               = 4
      OBJECT                  = 5
      REFERENCE_CHECK         = 6
      WRONG_ACCESS_TO_ARCHIVE = 7
      OTHERS                  = 8.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
    EXIT.
ENDIF.
REFRESH TEXT_STREAM.
LOOP AT TLINES.
    APPEND TLINES-TDLINE TO TEXT_STREAM.
ENDLOOP.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
    EXIT.
ENDIF.
REFRESH TLINES.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_STREAM_TO_ITF_TEXT'
    TABLES
      TEXT_STREAM = TEXT_STREAM
      ITF_TEXT    = TLINES.
CALL FUNCTION 'SAVE_TEXT' " Save text
    EXPORTING
      HEADER   = HEADER
    TABLES
      LINES    = TLINES
    EXCEPTIONS
      ID       = 1
      LANGUAGE = 2
      NAME     = 3
      OBJECT   = 4
      OTHERS   = 5.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
    EXIT.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
In this situation I've got a text transfered via BAPI and changed it, but perhaps u can read the text from PO and transfer it to SO
