- if you are going to write more that one file per second, then the
above needs to change to avoid overwriting; e.g. add counter to file
name
- you can get the first line of clipboard with
local clip1=line(clip.get, 1)
but before you use as a file name you have to make sure it has no ""
and does not contain any invalid chars for file names; replacechars can
help, something like
clip1.=replacechars("+/\?*=","_")
Or use regexps (but of course, there is always this concern:
