Prototype

BSTR PasteCommand(BSTR Text);

Data type meanings

Description

This pastes the supplied text into the command window, which does not have to be empty (unlike SetCommand) at the current cursor position, replacing any selection. It returns the text that it replaced, if any.

eg.

Command window reads:

go north
^^

("go" is selected)

You execute: s = PasteCommand ("walk")

Command window now reads:

walk north

s contains "go"

You could use this to make shortcut keys that paste frequently-used words into the command window.

For example:

/Accelerator ("Alt+N", "/PasteCommand 'swordfish'")

Now, whenever you hit Alt+N the word "swordfish" is pasted into the command window, replacing the current selection, or at the cursor.

VBscript example

previous = PasteCommand ("swordfish")

Jscript example

PasteCommand ("swordfish");

PerlScript example

$world->PasteCommand ("swordfish");

Python example

PasteCommand ("swordfish")

Lua example

previous = PasteCommand ("swordfish")

Return value

The previously selected text, if any.
