title: "setclipboard"
description: "Writes nonempty text to the Windows clipboard using CF_TEXT."
---

```lua
setclipboard(text: string): ()
```

---

## Aliases

- `setrbxclipboard`
- `toclipboard`

---

## Arguments

<ParamField body="text" type="string" required>
  The text to display or copy.
</ParamField>

---

## Returns

This function returns no values.

No success return. Empty/non-string values and clipboard-open failures do nothing. Embedded NUL truncates, and this is ANSI CF_TEXT rather than a Unicode clipboard implementation.

```lua
setclipboard("Byte docs example")
```
