Execute CopyPasta Language

Execute CopyPasta Language is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.

Task

Implement a CopyPasta Language interpreter or compiler. These are the commands used by CopyPasta Language:

Command	Description
Copy	Copy the text of the following line to the clipboard
CopyFile	Copy the text of the file cited in the following line to the clipboard or in the case where the next line is TheF*ckingCode copies the code to the clipboard
Duplicate	Duplicate the text in the clipboard as many times as the following line specifies
Pasta!	Display the clipboard and stop the program

Go

Library: Clipboard for Go

Here's my tentative attempt at an interpreter for CopyPasta.

I've made the following assumptions:

1. The program to be interpreted is read in from a file whose path is supplied as a command line argument.

2. Writing to the clipboard should always overwrite what (if anything) is already in the clipboard and not append to it.

3. CopyPasta is case sensitive.

4. When writing commands, leading and trailing whitespace should be ignored.

5. Blank commands should be ignored.

6. When a command consumes the following line, that line should not be reprocessed if it is a command itself.

7. The program should terminate with a suitable message if any error is encountered (i.e. no following line, file doesn't exist etc.).

8. When the program is about to end and the contents of the clipboard have (when appropriate) been printed out, the clipboard should be cleared. <lang go>// copypasta.go package main
