ezClip - Command-line clipboard utility

This is a tiny C# application I wrote a while back that allows you to copy/paste files via the clipboard.  The main scenario I use it in is when I have multiple command prompt windows open and I want to copy files from one to the other without having to type in paths, etc. 

Usage Information:

usage: ezClip [copy|paste] <list of files>

For example:

  'ezClip copy somefile.txt myapp.exe'
   will copy somefile.txt and myapp.exe to the clipboard.

  'ezClip paste'
   will paste any files that are in the clipboard into the current directory.

Download:  [Executable] --- [Source]

Cool utility. I modified my copy of the source to support both the words "copy" and "paste" and "-c" and "-p" since I like terse command line options.

Any chance you could modify your utility to work as:
exclip text "abcd"
where "abcd" would be copied to the clipboard?

I'd imagine that's a quick change, but I don't have a compiler. :-(

That would be SO handy, 'cause then I could setup batch files to start the 'various' apps that I need to start-and-enter-randompassword, so I can click & Ctrl+V...

:-D

That made my day :o) Thx for your tool.
Have a look at "AutoHotkey". In some cases it will provide you the option to build "tiny tools" from scratch beside its marvelous hotkey functionality.

BTW: It contains a compiler. Freeware/Open Source
