Quicker than you could've written this email you could have Ctrl-C something
to the clipboard and then at the R>
set var vtext = (cval('clipboardtext'))
and discovered that the command does just what the help file says. Copies
the contents of the clipboard to a variable. Sometimes it's just best to
forge ahead and see what happens and if it fails in all the scenarios you
can think up, then post what you HAVE tried so others can limit their
efforts in rendering help.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: Paste / Clipboard
RList-
If a non-RBase product creates text on a clipboard, can I bring that in by?
No user intervention, besides running this outside app and then pressing a
key/button on the RBase form saying I'm ready so to speak.
Run OCR-App *This will create a clip like ie: (without single around the
CRLF but wanted to be clear)
85664'CRLF'
473253653'CRLF'
863542'CRLF'
12/25/09'CRLF'
Now the user goes to the RBase app and hits a 'Speed Button etc...'
Runs a eep that is somelike:
If/then etc....[Esc] breaks the loop;goto end
Label Top
Set var vclip = (something('clipboard'))
Then bring it in and run a RWG (in this case I need to char CR/LF) as my
delimiter. I wish it was columns, but it clips as rows only. No other
options-tried.
Load file as .....
Goto Top
Label end
Return
But how the heck do I get the clip to load into a RBase var without creating
some file, suppose I could run some kind of temp file in the back ground and
read it from that file?

Ps and no I have not RStyled or check any of this code yet! <lol> Just
getting a game plan.
