copied!<p>I have 2 solutions, one that uses PowerShell, the other that uses <a href="http://www.autohotkey.com/" rel="nofollow">Autohotkey</a>.</p> <p><strong>Autohotkey version</strong> </p> <p>I would use this one ;) You define custom key and actions bound to the keys. My file contains this code:</p> <pre><code>^#n:: Run, Notepad WinWaitActive Untitled - Notepad2 Send !e Send p return </code></pre> <p>It runs notepad2 and then simulates pressing Alt+E and P. That pastes the string the same way as you would press it by yourself. From some reason I had some problems with 'pressing' Ctrl+V (I don't remember that any more). For more info have a look at Autohotkey's website.</p> <p><strong>PowerShell version</strong></p> <p>You need to use an editor like <a href="http://www.flos-freeware.ch/" rel="nofollow">Notepad2</a>. With switch <code>/c</code> it launches the Notepad2 and pastes the text from clipboard.</p> <p>To make it more useful I use function <code>tnp</code> defined like this: <em>(note that you need to run PowerShell with -sta parameter, otherwise they won't to work propely)</em></p> <pre><code>function tnp { param( [Parameter(Mandatory=$true,ValueFromPipeline=$true)] [object] $InputObject ) begin { $objs = @() } process { $objs += $InputObject } end { $old = Get-clipboard # store current value $objs | out-string -width 1000 | Set-Clipboard notepad /c sleep -mil 500 $old | Set-Clipboard # restore the original value } } function Set-Clipboard { param( [Parameter(Mandatory=$true,ValueFromPipeline=$true,Position=0)][object]$s ) begin { $sb = new-object Text.StringBuilder } process { $s | % { if ($sb.Length -gt 0) { $null = $sb.AppendLine(); } $null = $sb.Append($_) } } end { Add-Type –a system.windows.forms; [windows.forms.clipboard]::SetText($sb.Tostring()) } } function Get-Clipboard { Add-Type –a system.windows.forms [windows.forms.clipboard]::GetText() } </code></pre> <p>With these function you can run something like this:</p> <pre><code># gets list of members, opens Notepad2 and pastes the content (members list) (get-date) | gm | tnp </code></pre> <p>In other words -- if some info would be returned and formatted to screen, you can get it and paste to notepad.</p>
