LUA script to copy text to clipboard

[curtdusoleil]

I am a total noob to LUA.

I need a script that will just copy a file path as text to the clipboard. That's it. I absolutely cannot figure it out. I keep getting the error:

attempt to call a nil value (global 'set_clipboard')

Here is the file path I am trying to copy to the clipboard:

D:\_Google Drive\_Acting\VO\Room Tone\roomtone.wav


This must be a simple script, right?

Where did you get this set_clipboard from?

If you have SWS 2.9.5+ you can use my function CF_SetClipboard:

reaper.CF_SetClipboard([[D:\_Google Drive\_Acting\VO\Room Tone\roomtone.wav]])

Thanks for the quick reply, but I'm still getting an error message with that code:

invalid escape sequence near '"D:\_'

You appear to have added quotes (") to the code. Use [[ ]] like I did or escape the backslashes.
