Hi.

If i have selected some text and/or a web address etc.pp. i can copy the text (using strg-c) and paste it into a text file opened in a text editor (using strg-v). I want to write such copied text into a text file - USING BASH.

How could this be done? Is it possible?

RSH

RSH,

In puppies you can use-
Code:
 xclip -o >/path/to/your.txt

to copy text on clipboard

Cheers,

I've had pretty good luck highlighting (selecting) the text I want to copy (that's all - just select it, no need to "copy"), then, in the window where I want to paste the text, either simultaneously left and right clicking, or, if the mouse has a scroll wheel, clicking the scroll wheel.

Thanks, seaside.

I did never hear of xclip, works fine.

This will add a new feature to my 1st-Anniversary-Application - which is the new LazY FReD downloader.

It's now exactly one year ago, as i did join the forum

The LazY FReD (then 1.0.1) will be my 1st-Anniversary-Gift to the members of this forum.

Not, what i was asking for, but a very very useful tip. Tested and works - from geany to nicoedit and from nicoedit to geany.

Thanks! Very Happy

EDIT:

Works also in a single text editor window. Cool
