How to transfer content of clipboard to a variable

[stever 10]

I have Ubot std version 6.3.9 and have been used my script to control a Windows app to collect a variable on my desktop. So far, I have saved the variable onto the clipboard, but how do I get it into a Ubot variable?

(There are some old threads on here that go through some options but most are very old and the links are dead.)

If I could paste the variable into a text window in the browser I could then scrape it and convert it that way, but I can't even paste.

The type text function has options for key down and key up, so presumably I could use Ctrl+C, but that doesn't seem to work. Here's what I tried using the Google query box:

type text(<name="q">,"CTRL","Key Down")
type text(<name="q">,"c","Standard")
type text(<name="q">,"CTRL","Key Up")

Any ideas?

We have a plugin that enables users to easily automate clipboard functions like "set clipboard" and "get clipboard":

I never tried to do it by combining "type text" commands.

Hope it may help you further.
