CLI - Output to Clipboard

(1) By anonymous on 2021-09-12 21:13:55 [link]

.mode does not have a | clip option.
Is there anyway to send CLI output to the clipboard (Windows)?

That is using the Windows command prompt: I wanted to send output from the CLI to the clipboard.

I tried 

> sqlite> .output  clip

And it works!

More likely, if it worked as the thread topic suggests, you tried:<code>
  .output |clip
</code>Otherwise, "worked" means that a file named "clip" was written.

You are right. It was 

>.output \|clip

I omitted the 'escape' i.e. \\|clip
