I'm trying to use pyperclip to open text files, copy the text and then paste that in software I use on a EC2 windows machine using Remote Desktop on Windows. When I copy the text file it pastes it in the format I need on my host machine just fine but when I paste it in the virtual machine it's all on one line.
This is the test code I'm using at the moment:
import pyperclip
text = (open('proc.txt')).read()
pyperclip.copy(text)
If the text file was:
Bob
Jack
Sarah
Hannah
On my host machine it paste in the same format. On the VM it shows:
BobJackSarahHannah
No idea why this is happening and I can't find anything searching other questions on the topic.
