    Sample code would like this in JavaScript,

     

     

    function Tst()
{
      Sys.OleObject("WScript.Shell").Exec("cmd /c Notepad D:\\Users\\\\Desktop\\notes.txt");
      var notepadobj = Sys.Process("notepad").Window("Notepad", "notes.txt - Notepad", 1).Window("Edit", "", 1);
      
      if(notepadobj.Exists)
      {
            //Copy from Notepad
            notepadobj.SetFocus();
            notepadobj.Keys("^A");
            notepadobj.Keys("^C");
            
            if(yourObject.Exists){
            yourObject.SetFocus();
            yourObject.Keys("^V")
            }
      } 
}

      Hi,

       

      Not sure what you are exactly expecting,

       

      Instead of going to Notepad and copy/paste, you can using aqFile.ReadWholeTextFile

       

      def ReadWholeFile(AFileName):
  s = aqFile.ReadWholeTextFile(AFileName, aqFile.ctANSI)
  Log.Message("File entire contents:")
  Log.Message(s)
