I wonder if the 202 value would disappear if you did this:
put textDecode(the clipboarddata["text"], "utf8") into field 1 I don't know the answer, just putting it out there. Phil Davis On 1/12/18 4:48 PM, David Epstein via use-livecode wrote:
I use “the number of words in myString = 0” to test whether a line of text appears empty, since I want a line with only space characters to be understood as empty. But a line of text I pasted from elsewhere contained an invisible character whose charToNum value is 202, and this was counted as a word by my script. Is there a better way to test for a line of text that has no visible characters? Many thanks.
