Copy to clipboard from Max or Java

Several years ago I wrote some Java code that I used within an mxj object to do this. I wasn't writing the contents of a .wav file, but rather an .xml file - but perhaps this will get you going. To use it, prepend copyToClipboard in front of the full path to your file, and send that to the mxj's inlet... Let us know if it works!

import com.cycling74.max.*;
import java.awt.datatransfer.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.awt.Toolkit;

public class file_to_clipboard extends MaxObject
{

    private static final String[] INLET_ASSIST = new String[]{
        "full path of file to put on clipboard"
    };
    private static final String[] OUTLET_ASSIST = new String[]{
        "outlet 1 help"
    };

    public file_to_clipboard(Atom[] args)
    {
        declareInlets(new int[]{DataTypes.ALL});
        declareOutlets(new int[]{DataTypes.ALL});
        setInletAssist(INLET_ASSIST);
        setOutletAssist(OUTLET_ASSIST);
    }

    public void copyToClipboard(String file_string) {
        try {
            FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream (MaxSystem.maxPathToNativePath(file_string));
            int the_length = fis.available();
            byte the_chars[]= new byte[the_length];
            fis.read(the_chars);
            String content = new String(the_chars);    

            Clipboard clipboard = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard();
            Transferable transferableText =    new StringSelection(content);
            clipboard.setContents(transferableText,null);
        }
        catch (java.io.FileNotFoundException e) {}
        catch (java.io.IOException e) {}
    }
}
