Some people have one C drive, some people have one D drive..

I'm going to try this out, i'll post back once i'm done. It most likely won't be done in a database, probably just a text file. I haven't worked with any databases yet.
It will be more complicated than that, thats the point it doesnt ask for input, You just highlight the text and press say F5 (user can define the hotkey) i just need to find an efficient way to do this. Im not talking about just copying text files to a database, its for say i go onto this site and theres a code snippet i wanna save i highlight press F5 and it goes into a database, hopefully it will solve the problem of text files everywhere.
