The clip.exe file comes only with the Windows 2003 or Windows Vista so I am not sure if they are distributing the original Windows file on petri.co.il(http://www.petri.co.il/) or written something similar on their own.

We all know that you can easily direct a command's output to a text file by using the ">" character:
ipconfig /all > c:\ipsetting.txt
However, although this can be very useful when searching for a string or when documenting a setting, if you only need to copy the output into a different program, you can try this trick:

On Windows Server 2003:

1.
Open Command Prompt by running CMD.EXE from the Run menu.
2.
In the CMD window, type your required command. I've used IPCONFIG for example:
    ipconfig /all
3.
Do NOT press ENTER after the command, instead, add the following command to the end of your command:
    ipconfig /all | clip
Lamer note: This is not the "i" letter, nor the capital "I" letter, is it not the "l" (non-capital L) letter, nor is it the number "1". The "|" is obtained by pressing SHIFT and the "\" button on your keyboard.
4.
Now, open Notepad.exe from the Run menu, and paste the clipboard's contents by pressing CTRL + V.
5.
Go tell your friends how great this site is...

On Windows XP/2000:

The same tip applies here, but first you must copy the CLIP.EXE file from a Windows Server 2003 into your system's path (best if placed in %systemroot%\system32 folder).
You can also get the file from HERE(http://www.petri.co.il/software/clip.zip) (14kb)
