2017-10-01 Thread Michael Julian Lew via use-livecode
Excel doesn't like the line endings that Livecode puts into the clipboardData["text"] and renders the lines as if they were double spaced. I have asked once before what magic wand to wave to fix the problem, but I forgot the answer and googling was entirely unsuccessful (although I found that

Re: Clone graphic does not respect dimensions

Getting data out of Excel

2013-07-23 Thread Michael Julian Lew
I'm trying to paste data from MS Excel into a table in my Livecode stack without success. I suspect that either OSX or Excel have added unwelcome complications. I used to be able to just paste, but nowadays (Excel 2011 Mac OSX 10.7.4) the data come in as a long string, with six spaces where a
