Copy data custom column to clipboard

Good evening,

Is it possible to create a script that copies the data from the custom column named 'EXAMPLE' from the selected row to the clipboard?
Or even better: from the row you hover over with the mouse without selecting it?

copytext report("{example}", <curitem>);?

Ah yes. Should work next time.

BTW, if you pass the item as file (or variable resolving to a file), the report will generate fresh data for that item:

Code: Select all

copytext report("{example}", <curitem>);
You can usually achieve the same results (when just one item is selected), but with less work for XY, by passing number 1 for "all selected items". It will simply copy the data already present in the list:

Code: Select all

copytext report("{example}", 1);

It is possible to check if the files displayed with listfolder() have comments and note in the variable $hasComment = True only for files that have such text?

Look at quicksearch() instead, it can return only the ones that have a comment but ofc you could iterate over the listfolder() result and get the necessary stuff via tagitems()...
