Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Copy entire contents of file to clipboard Post 302446729 by Corona688 on Thursday 19th of August 2010 12:12:56 PM

If you really mean copy and paste, there's a blatant "paste" option in the Edit menu. But I get the impression "paste" is the wrong word -- you don't want to dump the raw data into the terminal as if you'd typed it. You want some program or other to use the text from a file.

Please tell us what you are actually trying to do, not how you believe you should be able to do it. What file do you want fed into what command, in what manner?

NAME
App::Nopaste::Service - base class for nopaste services SYNOPSIS
package App::Nopaste::Service::Shadowcat; use base 'App::Nopaste::Service'; sub uri { "http://paste.scsys.co.uk/" } DESCRIPTION
"App::Nopaste::Service" defines a generic interface for uploading to nopaste sites. It provides a default interface to that of the POE Pastebot. METHODS
nopaste This is the outermost method called by App::Nopaste and other clients. You should not override this method, as it will (XXX: eventually) perform canonicalization of arguments (such as "lang") for you. run args -> (OK, message) This is the outermost method you should override. You'll be passed a hash of arguments. The only arguments you should pay attention to are: text The body of text to paste. desc A short (one-line) summary of the paste. nick The name of the person performing the paste. chan The IRC channel to which the paste belongs. lang The programming language of the body of text. private If false, the paste will be public (default). get mech, args This should "get" the form to paste using the provided WWW::Mechanize object. By default it does just that. See "uri" below. uri If you only need to call "mech->get(uri)" then you may define this method to provide the URI of the nopaste service. fill_form mech, args This should have the WWW::Mechanize fill in the form using the arguments, and submit it. return mech, args This should look at "WWW::Mechanize->content" to find the URI to the pasted text.
