How String.copy(str) in java

[CARL Philippe (LBP)]

Dear all,

I’m really sorry to have what is very probably a very easy question, namely
"how to copy a String or Double to the clipboard within a plugin".

This question is actually more or less similar to the conversion of the
macro "String.copy(str)" instruction.

Besides answering this question, I would as well be interested in how I
could have find this information alone, i.e. without having posted this
thread.

Indeed, I have looked for "String.copy(str)" within ij.macro. Functions.java
without being able to locate it (as well as already posted threads about
such a question).

I thank you very much in advance for your answer and help.

Philippe

Hi Philippe,

you might try something like this (code stolen from
ij.plugin.frame.Editor; I used it in one of my plugins):

   Clipboard clip = getToolkit().getSystemClipboard();
   if (clip!=null) {
     StringSelection contents = new StringSelection(s);
     clip.setContents(contents, this);
   }


The clipboard owner (a ClipboardOwner; here 'this' in setContents) seems
to be not critical; it can be also the StringSelection as long as you
don't need to know when the contents of the clipboard is modified.

Hi Philippe,

to answer the second part of your question:

You were actually very close. Searching the file Functions.java for
"copy" gives 18 instances, among them the function copyStringToClipboard():

https://github.com/imagej/ImageJA/blob/master/src/main/java/ij/macro/Functions.java#L4390-L4396

which uses code similar to the one the other answers are pointing to on
stackoverflow.com

Dear Jan,
Thanks a lot for your answer and after it I really don't know (and
understand) how I could have missed what you pointed me out (especially
since I had found the String doString() method within Functions.java).
In all cases you closed a potential paradox and the only answer is that I
was blind this morning.
Thanks as well to Michael for his answer, but I wasn't able to reproduce the
" getToolkit().getSystemClipboard();" nor the " clip.setContents(contents,
this);" and the code I finally used is indeed similar to the one found in
copyStringToClipboard().
In fact I didn't really understand the ClipboardOwner issue about
setContents, i.e. the difference between setting the setContents
ClipboardOwner to "this", "null" or the StringSelection.
My best regards,
Philippe
