Cut and paste standard input and output


I recently wrote a simple command-line tool that cuts or pastes plain text
to/from standard input/output. I find it quite useful sometimes, when I've
got a script that generates some output and I want to process the output in
a windows application (or vice-versa).

e.g.

ls -lR | clipboard -x

After which, I can paste the ls output direct into a windows App. It's much
easier than selecting and cutting from the command-shell window, especially
if there is a lot of output. The command has three options, -x cuts, -c
copies (kinda like tee) and -v pastes to standard output. If this tool
doesn't already exist, I'd be willing to contribute the code. Any interest
and advice on how to submit it?

Thanks,
Raoul Gough.
