if its just a symbol in a JTextArea, all you have to do is select/highlight it

then use getSelectedText()

something like this

import java.awt.*;

import java.awt.event.*;

import javax.swing.*;

import java.awt.datatransfer.StringSelection;

class Testing extends JFrame

{

JTextArea ta = new JTextArea(25,50);

public Testing()

{

setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

setLocation(300,100);

ta.setLineWrap(true);

JButton btn = new JButton("Set Clipboard");

getContentPane().add(new JScrollPane(ta),BorderLayout.CENTER);

getContentPane().add(btn,BorderLayout.SOUTH);

pack();

btn.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){

setClipboard();}});

}

public void setClipboard()

{

StringSelection ss = new StringSelection(ta.getSelectedText());

Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard().setContents(ss, null);

}

public static void main( String[] args){new Testing().setVisible(true);}

}

Yes. I understand how to copy... But my main problem is i am not even able to select the Math Type images ( like images of matrices, equations etc)

My mouse pointer doesn't get placed or rolled over these symbols . So iam unable to select or highlight it.

So plz tell me how can i fist select these image symbols.

I hope i would get a solution.......

Thank You.

Plz dont get confused with the "Math Symbols" . Let me put it in a simpler way.. Consider i have an image ( any image type) in a JTextArea. I need to select it , copy it and paste it to the System Clipboard [ not a custom clipboard] ......

I hope i ve made myself clear atleast this time......

Do help me out of this......

Thank You.
