Thanks for the info Jacque.
I am pretty new to Rev so I didn't know that.
Is it somehow faster than copying?
I've never actually timed it but I imagine it would be, since you're
avoiding the second, extra field access. But the main reason I do it
that way is because it's just easier to get the info directly, without
involving the clipboard layer abstraction. The other big plus is that it
doesn't change the user's clipboard behind their back, so your customers
don't hate you.

Hi
Been working several hours with the copy paste solution, but all
attempts to copy selectedchunk (or chunkinfo) to a selected field
(in order to retrieve the selectedtext (with fontspecifications)
from there, to a variable, for further processing) fails.
The variable watcher reports e.g. on Put the clickchunk into
chunkInfo : "char 108 to 117 of field 363". But all attempts to copy
the thus indicated chunk gives an elaborate "it" (many level
adresses) different from the text in the cell. And nothing gets
pasted to the (visibly) selected field. It seems like the
whole table is copied instead.
Could you suggest the scriptlines, which could do the trick ?
You can set the clipboard contents directly without actually copying
or pasting, retrieving either plain text or styled text:
set the clipboardData to the selection -- plain text, the default
set the clipboarddata["html"] to the htmltext of the selection --
styled text
If all you need is the text and font specs, you can do it directly in
a couple of lines:
put the selection into myVar -- contains plain text
put the effective textfont of the selection into myFont
You can also get any other text properties. Usually there's no need to
actually copy and paste, but I haven't been following this thread so I
may have missed something.
