Re: moving content of variable

[Sarah Reichelt]

so I've tried setting the clipboarddata["text"], but the applescript 
balks at getting the clipboard, or I am not calling the applescript 
correctly.

The Transcript:
on mouseUp
put card field "TheItems" into TheItems
answer TheItems &&"1" -- just to test that it was working
repeat while last char of TheItems is return
delete last char of TheItems
end repeat
replace the 3 lines above with:
filter TheItems without empty   -- remove any blank lines
set the clipboardData["text"] to TheItems
--tell application "HyperCard" to copy variable "TheItems" to TheItems
-- was launching HyperCard in Classic, perhaps responsible for Rev's 
crashes
do card field "TheItems" as Applescript
instead of the 4 lines above:
put card field "TheItems" into tScript
-- insert your data into the text of the AppleScript
replace "***DATA***" with TheItems in tScript
do tScript as AppleScript
put the result into tResult   -- get the value returned by the 
AppleScript

--do the SendListToiCal of me as applescript -- don't know if this 
works as I am working with the card field script
put empty into TheItems
put empty into card fld "TheItems"
end mouseUp

 the Applescript:

-- new first line of AppleScript
put "***DATA***" into TheItems    -- this is where the Rev data gets 
inserted
display dialog the clipboard & " 2" --nada no response nothing
display dialog TheItems & " 2"     -- now you should see the passed data
--set TheItems to the clipboard
--display dialog TheItems &" 3"
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {return} --probably have to 
deal; with this 10/13 thing later
set TheItems to text items of TheItems
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {","}
set TheItems to text items of TheItems
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {""}

tell application "iCal"
	repeat with m from 1 to (count of TheItems)
		set the NewToDo to make new todo at the end of the todos of the 
calendar 5 with properties {due date:(current date), priority:3, 
summary:(item m of TheItems)}
	end repeat
end tell
return (whatever info needs to be returned)
Hope this helps,
Sarah
