clipboard_set_text

Syntax:

clipboard_set_text(str);

Argument	Description
str	The text (as a string) to set the clipboard to hold.

Description

This function will set the clipboard to hold the defined string. You can set it to an empty string "" to effectively clear the clipboard of text.

NOTE: This function is only valid for the Windows target.

Example:

if clipboard_has_text()
   {
   str = clipboard_get_text();
   clipboard_set_text("");
   }

The above code checks the clipboard for text and if it contains any, it is read as a string into the variable "str". Finally, the clipboard is cleared by setting it to an empty string.
