Tip 1 : Copy and paste from Windows XP Pro's command prompt straight to the Clipboard

Copy and paste from Windows XP Pro's
command prompt straight to the Clipboard

If you need to copy output from a command and
paste it into a Windows program, such as Notepad,
while working at the Command Prompt, chances are
you'll try to use the Mark and Copy commands on the
Command Prompt's Edit menu. A better way to get
information from a Command Prompt and onto the
Clipboard is the Clip.exe command-line tool.
Clip.exe comes with Windows Server 2003, but it also works in
Windows XP Professional. Simply copy Clip.exe from
theWindows\System32 directory on aWindows Server
2003 system and paste it into the Windows\System32
directory on a Windows XP system. (If you don't have
access to Windows Server 2003, you can download a
copy of Clip.exe from Daniel Petri's IT Knowledgebase
site (http://www.petri.co.il/software/clip.zip). Once you
have a copy of Clip.exe on your Windows XP system,
using it is as easy as appending the pipe and the clip
command (| clip) to the end of your command line. For
example, you can use this command to copy the
directory listing to the clipboard (Dir | clip), or you can
use it to collect, copy, and paste the results of the
Ipconfig command (Ipconfig /all | clip).
