Thank you, Paul!
I finally got this to work in my test stack using the script below. Note that
it has the change to “set the rawClipBoardData to empty” instead of just “set
the ClipBoardData to empty” - that seemed to be necessary at least in LC 8.1.3
with Mac OS X 10.12.8 Sierra which I have to use as my scripts of my main app
don’t compile or run correctly at this point with more recent versions of
LiveCode (but that’s another issue).
on mouseUp
put fld "myField" into tClip
lock the clipBoard
set the ClipboardData to empty
set the ClipboardData to tClip
put the clipboardData["text"] into tClip
set the rawclipBoardData to empty
if the platform is "MacOS" then
set the rawClipboardData["public.utf8-plain-text"] \
to textEncode(tClip, "UTF-8" ) -- OSX
else if the platform is "Linux" then
set the rawClipboardData["text/plain;charset=utf-8"] \
to textEncode(tClip, "UTF-8" ) -- Linux
else if the platform contains "Win" then
set the rawClipboardData["CF_UNICODE"] \
to textEncode(tClip, "UTF-16" ) -- Windows
end if
unlock the clipBoard
end mouseUp
Quietly laughing here as I had to copy the script from LC script editor to text
edit to avoid having double spacing!
