Looking for a way to save the data in the clipboard to a file in a hurry? All you have to do is call the following SaveClipboardTextDataToFile() function with the file name:
SaveClipboardTextDataToFile( 'c:\temp.txt' );
|
Please note that the following code is written to handle only text data in the clipboard. You can easily change this by modifying the clipboard data format specified -- CF_TEXT -- and changing the file handling methods.
function SaveClipboardTextDataToFile(
sFileTo : string ) : boolean;
var
ps1,
ps2 : PChar;
dwLen : DWord;
tf : TextFile;
hData : THandle;
begin
Result := False;
with Clipboard do
begin
try
Open;
if( HasFormat( CF_TEXT ) ) then
begin
hData :=
GetClipboardData( CF_TEXT );
ps1 := GlobalLock( hData );
dwLen := GlobalSize( hData );
ps2 := StrAlloc( 1 + dwLen );
StrLCopy( ps2, ps1, dwLen );
GlobalUnlock( hData );
AssignFile( tf, sFileTo );
ReWrite( tf );
Write( tf, ps2 );
CloseFile( tf );
StrDispose( ps2 );
Result := True;
end;
finally
Close;
end;
end;
end;

Don't forget to include Clipbrd unit in your uses section.
