Copy-paste string automatically
Hi i'm not really sure if it's possible or not in bash. Basically I want to convert a ssh key created with ssh-keygen to putty format. The problem is that puttygen doesn't have an option for supplying passphrase in batch mode so it must be entered manually. For sskey generated with ssh-keygen i use a random passphrase and I don't know the passphrase until I send it to my email.
Of course that the passphrase is kept in a variable.
The question is , can i enter automatically the passphrase when certain input is required from the user ? (ie when puttygen asking for passphrase).
I know I can temporary echo the passphrase in bash but it isn't quite what I'm looking for.
Thank you.

One of the things that I have learned to take for granted in the Win32 world is the cut, copy and paste hotkeys of ^X, ^C and ^V.
I use these keys all the time under Win32 to copy and paste information from one GUI into another GUI.
My question is, does X have a similiar standard?

authen::passphrase::clear
Authen::Passphrase::Clear(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Authen::Passphrase::Clear(3pm)
NAME
Authen::Passphrase::Clear - cleartext passphrases
SYNOPSIS
use Authen::Passphrase::Clear;
$ppr = Authen::Passphrase::Clear->new("passphrase");
if($ppr->match($passphrase)) { ...
$passphrase = $ppr->passphrase;
$userPassword = $ppr->as_rfc2307;
DESCRIPTION
An object of this class is a passphrase recogniser that accepts some particular passphrase which it knows. This is a subclass of
Authen::Passphrase, and this document assumes that the reader is familiar with the documentation for that class.
Warning: Storing a passphrase in cleartext, as this class does, is a very bad idea. It means that anyone who sees the passphrase file
immediately knows all the passphrases. Do not use this unless you really know what you're doing.
CONSTRUCTORS
Authen::Passphrase::Clear->new(PASSPHRASE)
Returns a passphrase recogniser object that stores the specified passphrase in cleartext and accepts only that passphrase.
Authen::Passphrase::Clear->from_rfc2307(USERPASSWORD)
Generates a cleartext passphrase recogniser from the supplied RFC2307 encoding. The string must consist of "{CLEARTEXT}" (case
insensitive) followed by the passphrase.
METHODS
$ppr->match(PASSPHRASE)
$ppr->passphrase
$ppr->as_rfc2307
These methods are part of the standard Authen::Passphrase interface. The "passphrase" method trivially works.
