How to periodical read and dump file to clipboard

Post by SilentWeed »

Hi everyone,

I am new here but not new to Eventghost. I have been using Eventghost for sometime to automate my HTPC and it is an extremely useful and reliable software.

I need to implement some code which should work like this:

1. Eventghost to start periodical reading from a log file which is in CSV format
2. Eventghost to dump the latest line to the clipboard
3. Eventghost to breakdown the CSV line into individual elements.

So far I am stuck at step 2.

I have installed the plugins "File Operations" and setup an Event called "File Operations: Start periodical reading: test.csv". It is able to read the latest entry correctly

But how do I dump what it is reading to the clipboard?

Many thanks
