For \fBwcopy\fP,

.SH EXAMPLES
|
|
.TP 1.5i
|
|
.B echo fred | wcopy 1 2
|
|
This puts the word "fred" into the 2nd and 3rd cut-buffers.
|
|
.TP 1.5i
|
|
.B wpaste | tr "A-Z" "a-z" | wcopy 1
|
|
This copies the clipboard then translates all upper case letters to lower in
|
|
the 1st
|
|
cut buffer and copies the result into the 2nd.
|
|
.TP 1.5i
|
|
.B wpaste 0 | fmt -w 66 | sed 's/^/> /' | wcopy 1
|
|
This reformats the clipboard to paragraphs with lines no longer than 66
|
|
characters, inserts typical email quoting characters, and copies the
|
|
output to the 2nd cut-buffer.
|
|
.TP 1.5i
|
|
.B wpaste | sed 's/^> *//' | wcopy
|
|
This removes email quotes from the start of lines in the clipboard
|
|
and replaces the clipboard with the un-quoted material.
|
|
.TP 1.5i
|
|
.B wpaste > ~/.myclipboard
|
|
Copies the clipboard into a location where it can be pixked up from other
|
|
computers (e.g. even from a Windows machine) \- as per the file permissions
|
|
you choose for the ".myclipboard" file.
|
|
.SH ENVIRONMENT
|
|
If WXCOPY_DEFS or WXPASTE_DEFS are defined in your environment,
|
|
they will always be provided as the first argument(s) to the
|
|
respective underlying command.
|
|
.SH BUGS
|
|
Don't use "-cutbuffer N" notation as per wxcopy/wxpaste:
|
|
stick to just using the plain unadorned number(s) that wcopy/wpaste expect.
