Jim, as Craig did too, I'm only attempting to get tab delimited text
onto the clipboard. It doesn't matter in any way at all what cells
the data came from, or what led to the value of the text. It's also
to be a web app as well as multi-platform standalone applications,
so AppleScript is out of the question.
Given that it pastes into other programs ok, shouldn't it paste into
LiveCode?
Most programs do some sort of conversion/discard of clipboard data
when they are activated.
Very larger clipboards can make an app seem to hesitate as it activates.
From my experience, LC tries to give you the clipboard characters
without much conversion, therefore extra control and high-ascii
characters can be in the clipboard when you try to work with it (such
as paste into a field)
Try the following line to see if it makes a difference
put the clipboarddata into tTempVar
delete null in tTempVar
put tTempVar into fld destination
-- nulls do not work with the filter command
or
-- strip the clipboard chars
put the clipboarddata into tTempVar
repeat with K = 1 to 31
if k is in " 9 10 13 " then next repeat
delete char (numtochar(K)) in tTempVar
end repeat
repeat with K = 127 to 255
delete char (numtochar(K)) in tTempVar
end repeat
put tTempVar into fld destination
Hope this works every time for you.
