Anyway to copy path to clipboard as text, not as element?

I'm trying to get a macro in Arbortext Isodraw that copies the path and filename of the active document to clipboard.

I've tried combinations of copy and path and StripExt but it usually ends up in copying the text as an element, instead of to the clipboard.

I might try to do a text log that outputs the active doc path and filename, but it would be nice if there was an easier way!

I'll refer to this as a hack.

Macro Clipboard

Launch "C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe" "/c Start /Min echo " + StripExt(ActiveDoc.Path) + "^|clip"

End Macro

It works!

I tried it at first, and it didn't work. But I realized there is a problem when the Folder Path has spaces in it.

Currently looking up how to deal with that!

Edit:

It simply just works. Thanks!
