Eric, Thanks a lot - This seems to be exactly what I want and need. On completion I will again post a suitable use case.
I have got it working - mostly, however the copy seems to ignore the new line character(s) in the source text area and the resultant pastes (after copy) are collapsed into single lines. I imagine this could have been important in the original SaveToClipboard<http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#SaveToClipboard> How do I introduce the line feeds please ? Thanks in Advance Tony PS - I will send a tip in the near future sourced from $AUD On Wednesday, August 1, 2012 4:49:56 PM UTC+10, Eric Shulman wrote: > > > Bump > > > > Anyone with the skills to help me do this ? > > > > I just dont know enough to convert between a Java Script solution and > > TiddlyWiki Integration. > > > > See here for a complete and documented solution that works in > firefoxhttp:// > www.htmlgoodies.com/beyond/javascript/article.php/3458851/Clic...be done > this way ? > > The script they describe is actually *not* all that robust.
