Hello George,

[GMM] pressed random keys until the following was produced:
Before we start, a question for the moderators:
How should we handle Tech questions involving features
from the Beta series? This thread doesn't seem to fit on
any of the lists terribly well.
GMM> My mistake. What I wish is to strip empty lines or lines with
GMM> whitespaces from quoting. Just what the perl mini program I wrote, did.
Ah, I misunderstood. See below.
GMM> I will try to see if I can modify your template although the syntax of
GMM> macros comfuse me totally.
Well, Perl syntax confuses me, so let's call it even. ;-)
As for you request, it's fairly easy to modify the template I had
provided. If I understand you, something like:
,------ [ example ]
| Paragraph 1
|
| Paragraph 2
`----------
Would become:
,------ [ example ]
| Paragraph 1
| Paragraph 2
`----------
If that's not what you meant, could you please give an example?
If you do want what I described above, see the following:
Note I've renamed the QT and the variable prefixes to give
a slightly more accurate description.
****DISCLAIMER****
For anyone else reading this, do **NOT** use these templates if you
have TB version 1.63b7 or earlier.

Notes:
1. This template can be used alone to modify clipboard
contents or can be used as an engine by assigning text to
the variable, %_Strip_Text, in the driver template.

So your main template would need something like:
=====[Begin Template Extract]=====
%_Strip_Text(%Quotes)%-
%QInclude(Strip)%-
=====[ End Template Extract]=====

Thanks for writing,
