Overview
The ClipboardGetCSVData function retrieves CSV (comma separated values) data as a 2 dimensional array (table) of ANSI strings from the clipboard, if available.
Syntax/Parameters
Syntax
string[][] = ClipboardGetCSVData ( [handle hClipboard] );
Parameters
hClipboard
An optional handle specifying an open Clipboard Object. If not specified, or specified as NULL_HANDLE, if a Clipboard Object is open, it is automatically selected, and, if no object is open, a new object is opened and then closed upon completion of the function.
Return Value
Returns a string table that contains a copy of the CSV text on the clipboard or an empty array on failure. Use the GetLastError function to retrieve error information.
Remarks
The ClipboardGetCSVData can return very large strings that may exceed the limit of many string functions. In addition, it can take a significant amount of time for certain applications to render various clipboard formats. Calling this function could result in what appears to be the application hanging while Windows retrieves the data.
Note that if the ClipBoardGetCSVData function returns an empty return string it could mean that an application posted an empty table to the clipboard.
