How can I copy a string to Windows paste buffer.
A google search of
ruby "paste buffer"
seems not to have anything relevant.
Oh ... and is there a way to suck information out of the paste buffer in Ruby?
If your using wxruby. I am not sure if the win32 integration has a method.
Most of the GUI Frameworks should have some way of accessing the clipboard.
Hope this helps.
Wx::Clipboard.open do | clip |
clip.data = Wx::TextDataObject.new("String data")
end

To those who have trouble getting the example (full example below) to work, try adding
require 'rubygems'
before
require "win32/clipboard"
