Answer 1

My guess would be to use the UIPasteBoard function: http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIPasteboard_Class/Reference.html

Hope that helps!

Answer 2

Ok, here you go Sagar... It would be wise for you to research how this works though:

This code to Copy strings to the pasteBoard:

    -(IBAction)copyStringToPasteBoard{
       UIPasteboard *appPasteBoard = [UIPasteboard pasteboardWithName:@"CopyFrom" create:YES];
       appPasteBoard.persistent = YES;
       NSString *yourCopiedText = @"YOUR TEXT HERE";
       NSLog(@"\n Your String: %@",appPasteBoard.string);
       [appPasteBoard setString:textView.text];
    }

I hope this is more specific for you, please vote me up ^.^

Answer 3

 UIPasteboard *pasteboard = [UIPasteboard generalPasteboard];

 if ([pasteboard containsPasteboardTypes: [NSArray arrayWithObject:@"public.utf8-plain-text"]]) {
            NSLog(@"WE gots a string which is: %@", pasteboard.string);

        }

Hope this help! ;)
