Hi Richard I found this problem was particularly annoying, especially when trying to extract info from vCards exported from Contacts on the Mac, so I developed a tiny app in LC called vCard Clipper.
I've put together a web page about this app together with download links to a Mac App and the source code. Here's the link to this web page, help yourself: https://www.reid-it.co.uk/downloads/downvcclip.htm <https://www.reid-it.co.uk/downloads/downvcclip.htm> Peter -- Peter Reid Loughborough, UK > On 10 Jan 2018, at 9:38am, use-livecode-requ...@lists.runrev.com wrote: > > Message: 5 > Date: Tue, 9 Jan 2018 10:09:51 -0800 > From: Richard Burkett <richard.burk...@sbcglobal.net > <mailto:richard.burk...@sbcglobal.net>> > To: use-livecode@lists.runrev.com <mailto:use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> > Subject: Problem pasting from Livecode to Mac Mail > Message-ID: <bf402ecc-c11d-4526-82c2-b5267520d...@sbcglobal.net > <mailto:bf402ecc-c11d-4526-82c2-b5267520d...@sbcglobal.net>> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 > > Does anyone have a solution to this problem: I set the clipboard in LiveCode > to the text of a field or variable that has returns after each line.
