I want to paste some text loaded in from python into a browser field:
Any method to load something into the clipboard, which I can then paste using Ctrl+V. Currently I see pyperclip.paste() only paste the text into the console, instead of where I want it. Pressing Ctrl+V after running pyperclip.copy('sometext')
does nothing.
import pyautogui
import pyperclip
def click():
try:
pyautogui.click()
except:
pass
pyperclip.copy('sometext')
pyautogui.moveTo(4796, 714)
click()
pyperclip.paste()
pyautogui.hotkey('ctrl', 'v', interval = 0.15)
What am I doing wrong here? An alternative method would be just as welcome as a fix - preferably one that avoids using pyautogui.typewrite()
as it takes a long time for lots of text
Update: seems to be a problem with pyperclip.copy('sometext')
not putting or overwriting 'sometext'
into the clipboard. the pyperclip paste function works as it should, and so does the pyautogui Ctrl+V
try use pyautogui.typewrite
import pyautogui
import pyperclip
def click():
try:
pyautogui.click()
except:
pass
pyautogui.moveTo(4796, 714)
click()
pyautogui.typewrite('sometext')
pyautogui.hotkey('ctrl', 'v', interval = 0.15)
