Clipboard madness

I don't do this annoy you, not for mischief or vendeta, not to insult anyone

I didn't! I suggested what you did and what you got which is not what im
getting because that's not how I said it worked... And now for the proof by
the absurd time waste. 

I opened your stack and yes, that works... 
Suprised? No!!! 

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!I never said I copy pasted from rev to rev... !!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I said

"Today, when i copy the line from any program" - 
                             ----------------

Fortunately you understood it was pasted to rev... (just teasing ya ;)

And yes, from rev to rev fields or other programs fields' this works...

but then I go to outlook (or bogus notes 5-6.5), copy the string:

emcacl \\server\fs$\userprog\xxxxxxx /t /c /y /q /g "SYSTEM":F
"OAAD\xxxxxxx":C 

from the mail I posted, go to the message box in Rev and paste and it get 

emcacl \\\\$\\ /t /c /y /q /g "SYSTEM":F "OAAD\":C

my guess is that the reason your stack works and the windows application
doesnt is because of the the clipboarddata["rtf"] which is the "native
format" in rev fields - not the html and when you copy text from a field,
you probably overide the html part.


recipee:

When I copy from outlook
this being the clipboarddata["rtf"] I got from outlook:
{\rtf\ansi {\fonttbl{\f0\fnil \fcharset0 MS Sans-Serif;}{\f1\fnil \fcharset0
Courier
New;}}{\colortbl\red0\green0\blue0;\red0\green0\blue128;\red0\green128\blue0
;\red0\green128\blue128;\red128\green0\blue0;\red128\green0\blue128;\red128\
green128\blue0;\red192\green192\blue192;\red128\green128\blue128;\red0\green
0\blue255;\red0\green255\blue0;\red0\green255\blue255;\red255\green0\blue0;\
red255\green0\blue255;\red255\green255\blue0;\red255\green255\blue255;}
{\f1 \fs20 emcacl }{\f1 \fs20 \cf9 \ul \'5C\'5C\'5C\'5C$\'5C\'5C\ul0 }{\f1
\fs20  /t /c /y /q /g "SYSTEM":F "OAAD\'5C":C}
\par }

the html data:
<p><font face="Courier New" size="14">emcacl </font><font face="Courier New"
size="14" color="#0000FF"><u>\\\\$\\</u></font><font face="Courier New"
size="14"> /t /c /y /q /g "SYSTEM":F
"OAAD\":C</font></p>
<p></p>

the text data:
emcacl \\server\fs$\userprog\xxxxxxx /t /c /y /q /g "SYSTEM":F
"OAAD\xxxxxxx":C

but when you copy it from any rev field you get 

RTF data:
{\rtf\ansi 
emcacl \'5C\'5Cserver\'5Cfs$\'5Cuserprog\'5Cxxxxxxx /t /c /y /q /g
"SYSTEM":F "OAAD\'5Cxxxxxxx":C
\par }

HTML data:
<p><font face="Courier New" size="14">emcacl </font><font face="Courier New"
size="14" color="#0000FF"><u>\\\\$\\</u></font><font face="Courier New"
size="14"> /t /c /y /q /g "SYSTEM":F
"OAAD\":C</font></p>
<p></p>

Text data:
emcacl \\server\fs$\userprog\xxxxxxx /t /c /y /q /g "SYSTEM":F
"OAAD\xxxxxxx":C

voila: no fuss, you can't beat a professional system engineer on his
grounds... ;)

Im not going to try with ultraedit, notepad, wordpad, metapad, explorer,
Iexploiter, Firefox, etc... but if it doesn't work with MS office
applications, all business users are going to have a problem sooner or
later. 

This is not personal Mark, and I really thank you for your effort in trying
to show me what's wrong - and you had my hopes up for a second...

cheers

Don't tell me what I did or didn't do...

There's a sample stack in my RevOnline folder (mwieder) for you
(XCopyTest) with copying and pasting data in all the various combinations.
They *all* work just fine from here.
