 You have not specified which platform, but try this test
 
 on checkReturns
  if the clipboardData contains numtochar(13) then
 answer Found char 13, a return on a Mac
  end if
 if the clipboardData contains numtochar(10) then
 answer Found char 10, a return in Rev/ Unix
  end if
 if the clipboardData contains CRLF then
 answer Found char 1310, a return-line feed in Windows
  end if
 if the clipboardData contains br then
 answer Found br
  end if
 if the clipboardData contains p then
 answer Found char p
  end if
 end checkReturns
 
 Also, look up CRLF in the dictionary.
 Another factor in Html is that the br may be a tag that is used to
 create the
 effect of a return char on the web page.
 
 A word processor program is designed to do many conversions for the
 user's
 convenience, such as clipboard conversions of text and graphics.
 
 Hope this helps.

pasting text from revbrowser

[Serge Brami]

Hello All
I try to get  the contents of a  revbrowser window  and paste it into a 
livecode  field
the web page is a banking chart

first I select manually the text in the revbrowser window

Then  I Use revbrowserGet  selected put the contents into myvariable  and paste 
it into a field  (using  :set   the htmltext of field myfield  to myvariable)
the problem is that all the return characters disappears 


Even  if  i copy  manually the text  and paste it directly in a field i get the 
same thing

If I copy the text manually and paste it into a Word processor software it 
works fine   the return characters don't disappear


Have you any idea ??

best regards
