I'm still a C++ newbie who has only recently learned some file manipulation. I looked it up online and the codes given are way beyond my current skill. Is there a simple way to do this, or are there any good tutorials that can explain this from the very basics?

You can use ClipboardXX library for copy and pasting simple texts. Just download clipboardXX.hpp from github and copy it to your project path. Then follow its examples:

#include "clipboard.hpp"
#include <string>

int main() {
    clipboardxx::clipboard clipboard;

    // copy
    clipboard << "text you wanna copy";

    // paste
    std::string paste_text;
    clipboard >> paste_text;
}
