Take a look at the Clipboard class (java.awt.datatransfer package). You can obtain the object by calling:
Clipboard clipboard = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard(); then you can pass your data to the clipboard (get text from your text fields, apply any logic that you see appropriate): String text = tf1.getText + tf2.getText() + .... + ; // get text from all your components StringSelection data = new StringSelection( text ); clipboard.setContents(data, null); Now when the user does Ctrl+V, the data from the clipboard will be pasted. Does this help? ------------------------- Lenny Reinstein Goldman, Sachs & Co.
