I actually got it done by using PuTTY to connect to my FreeBSD server, run the scripts in Bash there, and copy the output to the clipboard. 13 lines per script, vs. **HUNDREDS OF LINES** in vbs or vba!! :-)) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

I guess I will abandon this and try to do it in Windows. It's just that scripting in Unix is **SO** much easier than vbs in Windows! :-(( ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

As far as I'm aware, there is no tool that uses the clipboard in any OS that will allow that clipboard to be used outside of that OS. This appears to be what you want to do. If you want to be able to copy something from a guest OS to the host OS clipboard, I think you will need to investigate features/tools for the VM software or the host OS instead, or employ a clever work-around such as using an SSH client on the host OS to "talk to" the guest OS, and copy from the SSH client to wherever else you need the data in your host OS. -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] pgpsw8o2cJ10T.pgp Description: PGP signature

Use PuTTY to connect to the virtual machine via its IP address. From PuTTY, anything on screen is trivially copied to the host's windows clipboard by selecting it with your mouse.

I don't know xclip and I'm not shure to understand what you want, but I'm normally sitting at an Text-Terminal, so there's CLI only too. I use screen, where I can copy with '[Ctrl-a] [' and paste with '[Ctrl-a] ]', from 'window' to 'window' or in the same 'window' as well. I's a fine tool, but perhaps not what you want?

Hi Thomas, thanks for the reply. This is kinda gnarly. I'm using VMware Player on Windows 7, FreeBSD is the guest OS.

Sorry for not doing that before I posted. So, is there a non-X11 port that will let me do what I need to do?
