I have a script that runs through and screen grabs a ton of information. Currently I have it outputing to a message box that doesnt allow me to do any copying of information from.

Is there a way to have the output go directly into a notepad or wordpad so that I can copy any of the information to paste into other applications?

notepad and wordpad  does not provide the needed com interface.
Find an application you want to interact with that supports an  OLE Automation interface.
E.g Word and Excel..
you  can find word /excel code snippets in this forum.

If no one has a good VB solution to this for you.  I have a lot of my AS400 screen scraping scripts dump straight to the clipboard.  Its written in AHK and communicates over DDE backend.  

Most Common Windows Msgbox's let you hit Ctrl C and it will copy the contents of the box.  Clipboard will then include and ascii representation of the box.

Let me know if you want to pursue DDE and AHK
