Clipboard/variable issue

[jdelozier]

I'm having an issue with a macro where I'm trying to:

1. Open an application's window
2. Select text (which is a complete filepath) from a field within said window
3. Copy said text
4. Open file from copied filepath

This is what I currently have set up:

And here is the window I'm mentioning:

I could be doing something wrong, and it's probably something with the last few actions, maybe I programmed the variables wrong or maybe it just isn't recognizing the variable as a filepath somehow? Any help would be much appreciated!

I could be doing something wrong

You're setting the System Clipboard to the value of the MLdir variable -- I suspect that should be the other way round. Better yet, skip that step and instead "Open %SystemClipboard%".
