Copying to the clipboard in PowerShell without a new line - powershell

Question

Is there a way to remove a new line from out-clipboard or clip in PowerShell?
I'm using this code to copy current path to clipboard:
function cl() {
(Get-Location).ToString() | clip
}
And every time I use this, a new line is added to the copied text. It's frustrating, because then I can't paste it in the CLI, like I would with text that is copied from elsewhere. Because a new line makes a command on the CLI automatically executed.
Example: I'm in C:\Users and type cl, and then I use Alt + SPACE + E + P to pass the text, the command is executed, and I can't type any more. But when text is passed without a new line nothing is executed, and I can continue to type.

Answer 1

Use the Set-Clipboard function:
(get-location).ToString()|Set-Clipboard

Answer 2

Add-Type -Assembly PresentationCore
$clipText = (get-location).ToString() | Out-String -Stream
[Windows.Clipboard]::SetText($clipText)

Answer 3

As pointed out by #PetSerAl in the comments, the newline is added by PowerShell when the string object is sent through the pipeline. The stringified output of Get-Location does not have that trailing newline:
PS C:\> $v = (Get-Location).ToString()
PS C:\> "-$v-"
-C:\-
You could try something like this:
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
$tb = New-Object Windows.Forms.TextBox
$tb.MultiLine = $true
$tb.Text = (Get-Location).ToString()
$tb.SelectAll()
$tb.Copy()

Answer 4

Ending the string with a null byte will take care of it. Useful for powershell core, which doesn't contain Set-Clipboard
function set-clipboard{
param(
[parameter(position=0,mandatory=$true,ValueFromPipeline=$true)]$Text
)
begin{
$data = [system.text.stringbuilder]::new()
}
process{
if ($text){
[void]$data.appendline($text)
}
}
end{
if ($data){
$data.tostring().trimend([environment]::newline) + [convert]::tochar(0) | clip.exe
}
}
}
"asdf" | set-clipboard
