Is it possible to load the clipboard with text from a script

Hi @davidn5918184 , I use these 2 functions for getting and setting the clipboard. So assuming you have an image direct selected, this copies its file path to the clipboard:

/**
* Sets the clipboard to the provided string
* @ return void
*/
function setClipboard(s){
    var tf = app.activeDocument.pages[0].textFrames.add()
	tf.parentStory.texts[0].select();
    tf.parentStory.contents = s;
    tf.parentStory.texts.everyItem().select(SelectionOptions.REPLACE_WITH)
	app.copy()
    tf.remove()
}

/**
* Gets the clipboard text contents
* @ return the clipboard‘s text as a string 
*/
function getClipboard(){
    var tf = app.activeDocument.pages[0].textFrames.add()
	tf.parentStory.texts[0].select()
	app.paste()
	var cb = tf.parentStory.contents.toString();
    tf.remove()
    return cb
}

@davidn5918184,

It would be helpful if you posted the code for the script you're using...

"I have a script that exports images at different sizes and depending on the name it will write to text document a path to that image".

It seems like it would be an easy change from writing to a text file to getting that info copied to the clipboard.

Use the search function : this has been already discussed many times :
