----------------------------------- agnivohneb Tue Nov 27, 2007 1:19 pm need to copy for password program ----------------------------------- is there any way to copy text from turing to another application. I need to do so for a password program I am creating that you could store on a flash drive and take with you anywhere. I have the basics worked out just need to know how to copy. If there is a cmd that I can give to the system function to enter it into the clipboard would also work. No files!! I don't want to use txt files to copy that would be to much work for the user and don't want any trace of the password. The password is not stored anywhere. ----------------------------------- agnivohneb Thu Nov 29, 2007 1:02 pm RE:need to copy for password program ----------------------------------- I really need help with this one. Is there any way to copy from turing. ----------------------------------- HeavenAgain Thu Nov 29, 2007 1:05 pm RE:need to copy for password program ----------------------------------- something like, automatic entering the password for the user? by just clicking on this software you making? oh dear.... ----------------------------------- Carey Thu Nov 29, 2007 1:07 pm RE:need to copy for password program ----------------------------------- not that i know of. you can't even copy/paste text from a GUI. Try looking up some open source clipboard viewer programs. I don't know if it's even possible to do with Turing. Turing has almost no control over the operating software (no API support) ----------------------------------- agnivohneb Thu Nov 29, 2007 1:14 pm RE:need to copy for password program ----------------------------------- well I was thinking of some cmd line stuff. like how dose the macro Ctrl+C send the text you want to copy to the windows clipboard. there has to be some cmd involved and I know that turing can send cmds to the windows cmd line. ----------------------------------- HeavenAgain Thu Nov 29, 2007 1:28 pm RE:need to copy for password program ----------------------------------- why cant the user type their own password.... brain and hands are the best tools afterall... and for cmd copy and paste... i.. dont.. think you can do that...... its all manual........ ----------------------------------- agnivohneb Thu Nov 29, 2007 4:52 pm RE:need to copy for password program ----------------------------------- this program is for a security issue that many people have (like me). many people use the same password for everything they use (gmail, compsci, ext). this program will take your most used password and the service you are using (compsci.ca, or mail.google.com) and create a cyphered password that you can use. I also want it to generate a length that the user wants (some services require a minimum). It's all similar to http://passnerd.com/ "Virtual Password Key Chain". ----------------------------------- Nick Thu Nov 29, 2007 5:08 pm RE:need to copy for password program ----------------------------------- way dont you have an algorythem such as changing text into ASCII then adding a certain amout onto the value then change it back into text ----------------------------------- Euphoracle Thu Nov 29, 2007 5:08 pm RE:need to copy for password program ----------------------------------- I just append misc symbols/letters to the front and end of my base password for most things. Really, as long as it is different and you have a system that is somewhat "random" (although nothing is truly random), you're fairly safe. I wouldn't put my trust into a Turing app to do this either. ----------------------------------- agnivohneb Fri Nov 30, 2007 1:16 pm RE:need to copy for password program ----------------------------------- I don't care about how my password program works now I just need to know how to copy from turing. ----------------------------------- Wolf_Destiny Sun Dec 02, 2007 7:06 pm Re: need to copy for password program ----------------------------------- The password is not stored anywhere. You know that technically the password would be stored if it was put onto the clipboard? And I think that the best way to go about this would be to make/find a program which could put whatever you want onto the clipboard. Then just run it from Turing.
