Hi Steven. Here is my code:
import win32clipboard, win32con
def getclipboard():
win32clipboard.OpenClipboard()
s = win32clipboard.GetClipboardData(win32con.CF_TEXT)
win32clipboard.CloseClipboard()
return s
I use this helper function to grab the text on the clipboard and do useful
things with it.
Sorry about the description; I have stuff to learn about strings and python 3.3.
To get the string length, I just do len(s). There were 10 columns and 700+ rows
of data, so len(s) returned 80684 from an excel spreadsheet saved as a text
file.
>From the clipboard contents copied from the spreadsheet, the characters
>s[:80684] were the visible cell contents, and s[80684:] all started with
>"b'\x0" and lack any useful info for what I'm trying to accomplish.
