I wish I had known about that a long time ago! It looks like it is/was part of the Resource Kit Tools for Windows Server 2000 or NT somewhere, so it doesn't look like it comes with a Windows XP Professional installation (as far as I could tell). After some searching online, I stumbled across a link to this Microsoft FTP site: ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/Services/TechNet/samples/ps/win98/reskit/file/. clip.exe can be downloaded from there.

Pipe data from a file or command to the clipboard in the Command Prompt!

Hi,

I'm looking for the complement of clip. In other words, a command which pastes the contents of the clipboard to the command prompt. I know I can do this using the right mouse button but I would like a way to do it without using the mouse.

@Michael Zand:

To paste the clipboard contents to a cmd.exe window using only the keyboard, try: Alt+Space, e, p. (Alt+Space opens the window's Titlebar menu, e for Edit, p for Paste.) Not terribly elegant, but it works!
