Copy shell script output to clipboard

Is there any easy way to implement the copy to clipboard option from the开发者_StackOverflow社区 output of a shell script ?

That may depend on the environment you're using. With Gnome at least (I haven't tried the others but it may work), you can pipe your output as follows:

echo 123 | xclip
echo 123 | xclip -sel clip

The first goes to the mouse clipboard, the second to the "normal" clipboard.

You can use pbcopy which is native for Mac OS.

Try this command:

echo "variable" | pbcopy

it will copy the string "variable" into your clipboard.

If you do that on Windows 10 LXXS Ubuntu bash you can do following command, working also on WSL2.

Copy from WSL to Windows Clipboard

echo "What so ever..." | clip.exe

The other way around piping the Windows clipboard to WSL can be done with help of the PowerShell. It has a command called Get-Clipboard and a nice short alias gcb.

Paste inside WSL from Windows Clipboard

powershell.exe -Command gcb | cat

If you use this more often you could create an alias in the bash like

alias wcopy="powershell.exe -Command gcb"

and then quickly use as

wcopy | cat

You can use the xclip command.

 echo hello | xclip

Instructions for obtaining xclip are here.

echo prints a newline at the end as well. Incase anyone else hits the same issue, I used Mauro's approach but with the printf command so that it's just the string, no extra line:

For Mac:

printf "$YOUR_VAR" | pbcopy

With WSL2 and sudo you can use this:

echo "What so ever..." | /mnt/c/Windows/System32/clip.exe
