Object or method to interact with the clipboard (copy/paste)?
Hi. Is there any object or method in Max to copy something to the clipboard?
I'd like to make a textbutton to "Copy to Clipboard" or, even better, calculate something (text/numbers) and put it automatically on the clipboard.
I've noticed the "Copy to Clipboard" textbutton in "Options/OpenGL Status".
Is this possible with standard Max or do we have to go to Java or Javascript land?
Any hints? Thanks.

+1 is there a feature request place somewhere? I'd like this too :-)
I ve been hunting for a "copy to clipboard" functionality too - with no success so far :(
Noticed that there is exactly this functionality in the "About Max 7" window , unfortunatily this does not seem to be a maxpat?!
could not find anything pointing to that...
there is a java thing doing it - but you need to have java installed, which is unconvenient distributing a standalone :(
javascript is said to have no system comand functionality in max.
Any news on the subject?
Pedro, the [shell] object does this quite well. It can also create, delete and edit local files and folders.
Metamax, Thank you for that example patch. Solved a huge problem.

how would this be for Windows?
nvm... figured it out, just send this to [shell]:ECHO text to copy | CLIP
