save image from clipboard to file

This is how we can save image from clipboard:

import java.io.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import java.awt.datatransfer.*;
import javax.imageio.*;

public class clipimg
{
public static
void main(String[] args)
throws Exception
{
System.err.println("usage: java clipimg [filename]");
String outputfile="/temp/1.png";
if(args.length > 0)outputfile=args[0];
copyTo(outputfile);
}

static
int copyTo(String filename) throws Exception {
Transferable content = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard().getContents(null);
if(content==null){
System.err.println("error: nothing found in clipboard");
return 1;
}
if(!content.isDataFlavorSupported(DataFlavor.imageFlavor)){
System.err.println("error: no image found in clipbaord");
return 2;
}
BufferedImage img = (BufferedImage)content.getTransferData(DataFlavor.imageFlavor);
String ext = ext(filename);
if(ext==null){
ext="png";
filename+="."+ext;
}
File outfile=new File(filename);
ImageIO.write(img,ext,outfile);
System.err.println("image copied to: " + outfile.getAbsolutePath());
return 0;
}

static String ext(String filename){
int pos=filename.lastIndexOf('.')+1;
if(pos==0 || pos >= filename.length() )return null;
return filename.substring(pos);
}
}
