Hi to all
Can someone tell me what the terminal command for insert specific word from specific text file into the clipboard in SailfishOS, that can be paste in the other app (note etc...)?
Thanks
EDIT: We can use "pbcopy" from warehouse. Thanks to @V10lator for link.

This has been asked and answered on StackOverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/749544/pipe-to-from-clipboard.
I guess either the xclip or xsel program should work, but it seems that neither is currently available for Jolla. Perhaps somebody could cross-compile either for Jolla and upload it to openrepos?
Here's also a handy tip how to get paste to work (with xclip) using ctrl+v on the command line: https://www.debian-administration.org/article/565/Using_the_X_clipboard_from_the_command_line
xclip / xsel use, as the name suggests, X11. Now you don't have X11 on your Jolla (and there's no way to get it) as it uses Wayland. So stackoverflow doesn't help here (and the answers there will be obsolete in the foreseeable future as desktops will switch from X11 to Wayland, too, SailfishOS is just a great early adopter).
V10lator ( 2015-07-05 13:49:02 +0200 )editA bit of investigating showed that there might be two ways to access the clipboard on SailfishOS: Either directly through Wayland (see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52077 ) or through QT (see http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qclipboard.html ). Will investigate some more (search for a command line tool like xclip/xsel but using Wayland or QT).

I asked about command to insert specific word from specific text file into clipboard. Not from terminal app. Please read question.. ;)
Schturman ( 2015-07-03 20:57:17 +0200 )edithow do you open the text file? how do you identify the word you are searching for?
rudi ( 2015-07-03 21:23:31 +0200 )editplease specify your question ;-)
and there is this question
https://together.jolla.com/question/17195/question-how-to-access-clipboard-from-the-command-line/
I mean for example sed, cat or grep command from specific text file and the output insert into clipboard that can be paste in another app. P.S. I will check your link.. thanks
Schturman ( 2015-07-03 21:59:02 +0200 )edit@schturman I think I know what you mean, like sending a dbus message with data "some_text" and having that text replace the current content in the clipboard. Pretty neat thing.
Should be quite doable with some tweak I guess.
