For example, I can copy a file to the clipboard like this:
clip < file.txt
(Now the contents of file.txt
is in the clipboard.)
How can I do the opposite:
???? > file.txt
So that the contents of the clipboard will be in file.txt
?
If you accept to use PowerShell
(and not cmd
) the you can use Get-Clipboard exactly as you was looking for.
Get-Clipboard > myfile.txt
The adventage of this method is that you have nothing to install.
Note: In place of clip
you can use Set-Clipboard that has more options.
Note 2: If you really want to run it from cmd
, you can call powershell
as in the following example powershell -command "Get-Clipboard | sort | Set-Clipboard"
.
