ClipPut, multiple lines?

[Diana (Cda)]

I know how to send one line of text to the clipboard:

ClipPut("text to the clipboard")

But how do we handle sending a snippet of text that falls on more than one line? Is this even possible?

Thanks!

How about

ClipPut("text" & @CRLF &  "to" & @CRLF & "the" & @crlf & "clipboard")
MsgBox(0,"",ClipGet())

@LF

@CR

@CRLF

Either one will work, you can mix'n'match if you like...just don't expect every program to like it.

Example:

Notepad accepts @LF and @CR interchangably.

AS400 Emulators accept @LF but not (usually) @CR or @CRLF

Lotus Notes ignores @LF, doesn't like @CRLF (it does a default system beep when this is called from AutoIt, but enters in the line-break), but has no problem with @CR.

As always, YMMV

Great, thanks for the education. Much appreciated.
