For example, I can copy a file to the clipboard like this:
clip < file.txt
(Now the contents of file.txt
is in the clipboard.)
How can I do the opposite:
???? > file.txt
So that the contents of the clipboard will be in file.txt
?
You can use the paste.exe software in order to paste text just like you are describing.

With it you can do:
paste | command
to paste the contents of the windows clipboard into the input of the specified command prompt
or
paste > filename
to paste the clipboard contents to the specified file.
