[@yangri5988]

Thank you, beneficial lesson

[@letcode]

Happy learning 🎉

[@alexvillarreal3947]

thank you for the idea, i got the value from the source string to assert with the out put in other web app..

[@bellamadina3384]

Can you do this without driver.get pr window.open. Because it usually takes URL only format like etc. but usually in applications copy button copies some text or numbers which can be used to paste in other fields. So here once you copied the content, then how can I paste it in new window and verify the pasted text matches with expected text. I tried to open new tab and opened Google search page and tried to paste in search box. And then from that search box retrieved the text box content. Only issue I am facing is the ctrl+v paste is not working. I tried with robot class, actions class to simulate ctrl+v but none worked. Could you please suggest the solution

[@letcode]

Have you tried the toolkit ? 9:00

[@bellamadina3384]

@@letcode issue resolved. Using toolkit I grabbed the clipboard value and then entered that value to textbox using sendkeys, and then compared the textbox value with the expected string. This solved my purpose. Thanks a lot!

Anyway to pick any list using ctrl+f and pass string?

[@letcode]

Not sure, but i guess using press function we can input Ctrl f, then based on the highlights css probably we can find the list of elements

[@justin-George]

@@letcode ctrl+f using Robot worked but unable pass value for search...which doesn't have web elements as well

[@letcode]

@@justin-George yeah that find is browser feature, not the Dom.

[@justin-George]

@@letcode any hope of browser ctrl+f to pass value

[@letcode]

@@justin-George not that I'm aware of 😔

[@SasTest-e4w]

This code returns the clipboard value from the current system. But I run my tests in browserstack, do you know how to handle the remote systems ?

[@letcode]

Not sure about it.

Hi Sir, how did you copy the link first to the clipboard, I watched the video but I can't get it?

[@letcode]

Once you click on that button, it will be automatically copied to the clipboard

The Above code didn't work inside Docker container

[@letcode]

Oh is it, I haven't checked with docker.

How to paste the valu on different browser and open the copy url on different browser kindly help I have a project like this scenario. Kindly help 👏👏👏

[@letcode]

You'll get the clipboard value in string, you can use it anywhere.

[@Mr.SmileGarg]

Sir, My scenario is : copy the content from the web application and paste it in the notepad. Is it possible with this approach??

[@letcode]

You cannot directly paste in notepad, but you can use the file class to create a file with text and write the value in the file.

[@Mr.SmileGarg]

@@letcode I have to use any third party library for this or I can directly write it into notepad??

[@letcode]

@@Mr.SmileGarg You can directly write using File class.

[@Mr.SmileGarg]
