You can use a program called xclip
. For installing it type:
sudo apt-get install xclip
and then do
pwd | xclip
-- which copies output of pwd to xclip
Now to get the output type:
xclip -o
or to copy to the "standard" clipboard (to avoid having to use xclip -o
)
pwd | xclip -selection clipboard
for more options use
man xclip
You can use xclip or xsel, to install xsel just do:
sudo apt-get install xsel
and then do
pwd | xsel -b
to copy the output of pwd to the clipboard.
To get the content of the clipboard you can use:
xsel -b
