What if you wanted to paste information from the clipboard? No sweat, here is a Get-Clipboard function that outputs any text held by the clipboard:
function Get-Clipboard { Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms $tb = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.TextBox $tb.Multiline = $true $tb.Paste() $tb.Text }
In a previous tip we presented the corresponding Out-Clipboard function, so now you could send information to the clipboard in one PowerShell session and read it back from another.
