That definitely helps me understand it better!

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.
