I tried to use Windows and Forms to copy text, but the console prompts me: The type or namespace name `Forms' does not exist in the namespace `System.Windows'. Are you missing `System.Windows.Forms' assembly reference?
How can I put the text into the system clipboard?

System.Windows.Forms doesn't exist in a console application

Yes, so I'm wondering if there is another way to achieve this?

Don't know if this actually works but worth a try

UnityEngine.GUIUtility.systemCopyBuffer = "Hello World";

I have tested this method before, but the result is also unusable: The `.' operator cannot be applied to operand of type `UnityEngine.GUIUtility'
So far I think, if you can use System.Windows.Forms, then it can be achieved. Looking forward to when it will be available in the future.

You trying to get the servers clipboard or the players?

I want to put the text data into the system clipboard so that I can analyze the data in Excel or Notepad, etc.

Might be better off writing it to file

Do you mean using DLL extensions?

I mean whatever you're trying to write to clipboard could you achieve your goal by just writing whatever to a file and reading it from there?

Hey, yes, I have been ignoring that you can write directly into the file, thank you for reminding.
