GitHub - dansmith65/FileMaker-PowerShell-Clipboard: Manipulate FileMaker formatted clipboard formats with PowerShell.

Purpose

Convert FileMaker clipboard format both to and from text. Either input will result in clipboard being able to be pasted into either FileMaker or a text editor.

Why would you want to do this?

Use a text editor find/replace within all steps from a script, which could then be pasted back into FileMaker.
Quickly get the internal id of any FM element that can be copied.
Extract an SVG icon from a layout object.
Modify layout object styles that FileMaker interface doesn't allow you to (beware!).
Save commonly used elements (like script steps) in a program like PhraseExpander, so you can quickly paste them without having to re-create them.
Take the prior item to the next level with some user input and customize the clip before pasting it https://youtu.be/-DWA9i2eD3c .
I could go on, but i'll stop there!

Instructions

Download the script and put it in any folder you choose.
Open PowerShell: Start > Type "PowerShell" > Click on Windows PowerShell
Type the full path to the script (surround in quotes if it contains spaces), press Enter to run it.
- If you get an error about Execution Policy, you may need to modify the execution policy, or temporarily bypass it.
- Another option that might work in conjunction with your existing execution policy is to unblock the file with a command like:
```
Unblock-File"C:\Path\To\Convert-FMClip.ps1"
```
When the script runs without error and successfully detects/converts formats, it will immediately close. If there is an error, the window will stay open so you can view it.
I'd recommend setting up a hotkey to run it. I use Alt + F2 defined in PhraseExpander, but there are many ways to setup a hotkey to run a program. Call it like this:
```
powershell.exe -sta -file "C:\Path\To\Convert-FMClip.ps1"
```
- You may want to add -ExecutionPolicy Bypass to this command, so you don't have to deal with execution policy issues.)
[OPTIONAL] If you don't want the XML to be pretty printed, or if you prefer spaces over tabs, you can modify the Set-Configuration.ps1 file, then run it.
[OPTIONAL] You can run the ConvertAndPaste.vbs script instead if you want to automatically paste after conversion. This script calls Convert-FMClip.ps1 from the same directory, so both files must exist in the same folder. You can call this script directly, like:
```
"C:\Path\To\ConvertAndPaste.vbs"
```
