Hi all,
I need help from friends here. I have a txt file using the argument to save this file. how to copy the content in this file and set to clipboard as to use it to paste somewhere else. Thank you.
hi @Perri,
-
Read the Content of the Textfile using read Text Activity - This will return you an string say strText
-
Take a Set to clipboad activity and pass strText to sep the clipboard.Below is the link
https://docs.uipath.com/activities/docs/set-to-clipboard
3.Once You have the Data in the Clipboard - you can send Hotkey Ctrl + V in any application to paste the Data.

hi @Perri,
Can you please try reading the complete path in the read Text File
“c:\temp\sr-0001.txt” - If This works - then we can test for the dynamic variable.
Also , before the Set to ClipBoard - Plese use a writeline print output and see if we are getting data in output.
