Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding you but I believe we aren't seeing the same thing here. This seems like correct behaviour to me�� if a variable passed to Do() contains a newline character then the content before and after that character should be treated as separate commands. This allows multiple commands to be executed from the one variable. The thing with the script that I previously posted though, is that that variable only contains newline characters where a new command is coming, and not within strings represented in it. For instance, I don't expect this to work: Do(Esc(?"Global Var = ?'My\nthing'", ?"\")) Here is precisely what my script outputs to the PendingCmds variable (two commands, watch for line breaks): MessageBox(?'Asterisk', Esc(?"External data\nwith line breaks and such", ?"\")) Win.Debug(Esc(?"External data\nwith line breaks and such", ?"\")) If one copies those two commands to the clipboard and runs: Do(Clip.Get) The commands will run as expected. However, if one copies those two lines plus an additional blank line after it, you get an Explorer popup. I'll try to post a clearer example of the glitch shortly, since it appears that I can reproduce it more easily. -- Alex Peters / Melbourne, Australia PowerPro v4.1.00 / Windows XP ------------------------ Yahoo!
