This is hopeless. In addition to the normal difficulties in string/Unicode conversions, you have the added limitations of the current console code page. You simply cannot type characters in a Windows console that are not present in your current code page. You need to make this a GUI app, not a console app. Your code is also making assumptions about the behavior of the console window that are not warranted. No one promised, for example, that a string pasted with "paste" is going to fire kbhit() continuously until empty. > To read it I use: > > file = get_paste() It is unwise to use the name of a built-in type as the name of a variable. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
