I'm trying to make a macro so that each of these words that would be located in my clipboard would be put into a list with spaces and commas, then output back to the clipboard. I'm not sure I need the first and last lines. I cant seem to get it to run. What am I missing?
string Text = Clipboard.GetText();
List<string> words = new List<string> { "blue", "green", "chair" };
Join IEnumerable<string> foundWords = words.Where(i => Text.Contains(i));
string result = string.Join(", ", foundWords);
Clipboard.SetText(result);
if the clipboard only contained one or all three thats what the clipboard would be replaced with. I would be adding a ton of words to search and would like them output in the order they are searched for, without duplicates.

Sorry I never got a notification that this was responded to, thanks a ton for helping out!
. When running a macro with a hotkey, the text parameter is set to the contents of the current Clipboard, so there's no need to grab the text from the Clipboard again. It's also the same with the returned value. The Clipboard gets set to that returned value when the Macro is finished running, unless it's null. You might have also forgot a "using" statement to get those Linq functions to work.
