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
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.
