@echo off for /f "delims=" %%i in ('powershell -command "Get-Clipboard"') do set clipboard=%%i yt-dlp "%clipboard%"

This is a batch script for Windows, and here's what it does step by step:

  1. @echo off:

    • Suppresses the display of commands in the command prompt to make the output cleaner.
  2. for /f "delims=" %%i in ('powershell -command "Get-Clipboard"') do set clipboard=%%i:

    • Runs a PowerShell command (powershell -command "Get-Clipboard") to retrieve the current text content of the clipboard.
    • The for loop captures the output of that command, storing it into a variable (%%i) and then assigns it to an environment variable named clipboard.
  3. yt-dlp "%clipboard%":

    • Executes the program yt-dlp (a tool for downloading videos), passing the clipboard content (retrieved in the previous step) as the URL or input.
    • Essentially, this command downloads a video or other content from the URL that was copied to the clipboard.

Summary:

This script retrieves the content of the clipboard (likely a URL), saves it in a variable named clipboard, and passes it to yt-dlp to download video or media content from the copied URL.
