Clipboard

[daafganggdg]

Hello guys,

It's actually more of a Java question.

How can i get the Clipboard content?

So, when I for example copy my own text here, how can I get it into a String in my mod?

I'v already tried that:

String myString = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard ().toString()

but my string only becomes to "[email protected]@736aca24"

instead of the copied text

looks like it's just returning the string referencing the memory address.

Try retrieving the string via getContents()

Yes, to be clear: in Java many objects have a toString() method.  This is NOT for returning a string related to the functionality of the object, rather it is meant to create a String description of the class itself.  For more see: http://www.javapractices.com/topic/TopicAction.do?Id=55
