Store Command Results in the Clipboard
This example script is mentioned in a demonstration as part of the Advanced Copy and Paste Tips video on our YouTube channel.
The script does the following:
- Determines the current shell prompt on the remote system.
- Enters a loop, continuously waiting for the shell prompt to appear (again).
- When the shell prompt appears, the text output captured between appearances of the prompt is automatically copied into the clipboard.
To stop the script, simply choose Cancel from SecureCRT's main Script pull-down menu.
Script arguments have been implemented to allow for changing of specific behaviors. For example, you could map a button using SecureCRT's button bar to run the script, and in the Arguments field you could specify one of the supported arguments to get slightly different behavior as described below:
' Supported arguments to change script's behavior include:
'
' /CaptureStartingEOL:True|False
' If specified as True, the leading line ending character
' sequence is captured and included in the clipboard as
' part of the output of the command. If not specified, or
' set to False, the leading EOL OMITTED from the output
' that is stored in the clipboard.
'
' /CaptureTrailingEOL:True|False
' If specified as True, the trailing EOL character
' sequence is captured and included in the clipboard as
' part of the output of the command. If not specified, or
' set to False, the trailing EOL character sequence is
' OMITTED from the output that is stored in the clipboard.
'
' /CaptureOnlyCmdOutput:True|False
' If specified as True (default), only the command output
' will be copied to the Clipboard. If specified as False,
' both the command issued and the results are copied to
' the Clipboard.
'
' /WriteToFile:"PathToOutputFile"
' If this option is present, the script will write the
' results to the file specified in the PathToOutputFilev
' value.
