Clear Clipboard Before Specific Action

Questions & Suggestions
7

There are several simple solutions to this:

  1. Set the Clipboard to something that will NOT possibly be what you want to copy, like "[EMPTY]".
    • Do the Copy
    • IF the Clipboard = "[EMPTY]", paste "NULL"
    • OR, even better, just set the Clipboard to "NULL" before each Copy.
      .
  2. Use the CLIPBOARDSEED function
    • Set Variable CBSeedBefore to CLIPBOARDSEED()
    • Do the Copy
    • IF CBSeedBefore is CLIPBOARDSEED(), then Paste "NULL"
      .
  3. Use the Copy action with a short (≤ 1 sec) timeout
    • Set the Action to NOT cancel the macro if it fails
    • IF the ActionResult token is not "OK", Paste "NULL"

These should give you some ideas.
