Printing to clipboard

Greetings,

I'm looking to print/export text to the clipboard in a C++ program and this way works just fine for 1 or more lines or text:

        HGLOBAL hText;
        char *pText;
        hText = GlobalAlloc(GMEM_DDESHARE|GMEM_MOVEABLE, 100);
        pText = (char*)GlobalLock(hText);
        strcpy(pText, "Example text line 1\r\nExample text line 2);
        GlobalUnlock(hText);

        OpenClipboard(NULL);
        EmptyClipboard();
        SetClipboardData(CF_TEXT, hText);
        CloseClipboard();

The problem is I've got some variables, and despite a lot of effort I cannot figure out how to print the text script + the variables inside it.

TL;DR: How do I into text + variables to clipboard in C++?

C++ doesn't have the concept of a clipboard so your question doesn't really have an answer until you specify an environment with a clipboard.

Sorry, that'd be Windows' clipboard. Forgot to mention that.

Then I don't know, I don't program for substandard platforms.

Would sprintf work if I crammed the variables into a string, then using the name of that string in strcpy(pText, stringName);?

Why wouldn't it? You print the variables into a string and then use it exactly the same way as you would any other string.

strcpy ``considered harmful'' by Microsoft. Use StringCchCopyA or strcpy_s to prevent buffer overflows.

My thanks to you both! I was testing sprintf, but due to a space in one of the variables (a string) or maybe because it was a string the application just crashes when it hits that point.

A problem with strcpy I had was that it was throwing off errors if I gave it the string made by sprintf... I have so much to learn, but your input has been very helpful!

SetClipboardDataEx(CF_TEXT, hText, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);
