[Gambas-user] clipboard

Tue Jun 9 06:27:32 CEST 2009

Hey Beren,
If I may add my 2 cents worth of wisdom,

the flow of information in your program is still unknown and it's kinda
difficult to understand
what you're trying to do... however if I read this correctly (correct me if
I'm wrong)

if copying data off the clipboard and pasting them into a webpage is what
you need
then why not turn your program into a gambas server page and save your data
in a text
file that the server page will read and print into a webpage?

This is how I think it may work for you

Gambas (or other) program -->> saves data into file -->> temp.txt <<-- reads
file <<-- gambas server page renders file as html

unless your plan is otherwise it should be adequate to get your clipboard
data accross

Let me know if that helps at all
Regards
Dimitris
