Code: Select all

for /f "usebackq tokens=* delims=" %i in (`mshta "javascript:Code(close(new ActiveXObject('Scripting.FileSystemObject').GetStandardStream(1).Write(clipboardData.getData('Text'))));"`) do @echo %i>C:\Users\user\1.text

Have you ran this through batch file or from command line?
If you want to run this from batch double the %-es.

I would like to run it from a batch file but I tried running it through cmd and it didn't work it sent the text type clip /? For usage into the text file.

So this is what you have in the clip board - the CLIP help.

Try to copy something else.

No I had copied my question the the clip board and it sent the clip help to the text file instead.

small test:

Code: Select all

@echo off

echo ##--##|clip

for /f "usebackq tokens=* delims=" %%i in (
   `mshta "javascript:Code(close(new ActiveXObject('Scripting.FileSystemObject').GetStandardStream(1).Write(clipboardData.getData('Text'))));"`
) do (
 echo cntent of the clipboard:
 echo %%i
)

output :

cntent of the clipboard
##--##

The ways to access clipboard without external binaries are :
1)"InternetExplorer.Application" activex object through vbscript or jscript and use clipboardData.getData(..) method.Though will require admin permissions to create invisible instance of IE
2)mshta (which is in fact internet explorer) through clipboardData.getData(..) method. Hta window will flash for a moment , though with Code(..) flashing is minimized.
3) with .net and Clipboardclass
