Copy and paste a variable.

Post by robchoc » 10 Dec 2018 19:47

I have a simple script that generates a word and places it into global_word

How do I copy this into my clipboard and then paste it?

I have tried

copy(global_word):
paste()

This just pastes what is already in the clipboard and not my random word.

Thanks

no, copy() is to copy from the selected text in UI element. To copy from variable, you have to use action Copy Text to Clipboard, use global_word as the variable. Then the paste() is in separate action Control UI.
