clipboard Description

clipboard is a little script for KDE that allows you to save things in your path. clipboard is a little script for KDE that allows you to save things in your path and do stuff like:1. paste current clipboard into file2. clipboard > "some_file"3. copy some file into clipboard4. cat "some_file" > clipboardActually I find it rather useful so I thought I will have to share it.Since KDE4 D-BUS is used throughout KDE and thus in Klipper as well. IMO they should really rework the output of dbus-send or add some more flags (what about --quiet). Well that's the reason why the script below is somewhat long. But nothing a little bit of bash+awk magic couldn't cope with:#!/bin/bash# check for stdin# since we don't want to wait endlessly we set a timeout# a pity `read` only supports seconds and no fractions...read -t 1 stdinif ]; then# get the rest of stdinstdin=$stdin$(cat)# oh, nice - user input! we set that as current# clipboard contentdbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.kde.klipper /klipper org.kde.klipper.klipper.setClipboardContents string:"$stdin"exitfi# if we reach this point no user input was given and we# print out the current contents of the clipboard# note: I hate the output of dbus, dcop was much easier in that regard!dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.kde.klipper /klipper org.kde.klipper.klipper.getClipboardContents | awk 'BEGIN { output = ""; }{if ( NR > 1 ) {output = output $0 "n";}}END {print substr(output, 12, length(output) - 13);}'Requirements:· running KDE4 session with Klipper· bash· awk Requirements: · running KDE4 session with Klipper · bash · awk
