Hi there, Thanks for your replies. The suggestion Sarah gave works fine with text entries. I also use pasted text and Kay C Lan's code might work but I didn't test it yet.
William de Smet 2006/9/18, Kay C Lan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Good responses for data as you type, but something else would be needed for pasted data. In such a case I generally force the use of monospace fonts, I can then quickly determine exactly how many characters can fit into the field: if (the number of chars of the clipboardData["Text"] > 543) then put char 1 to 543 of the clipboard["Text"] into field "fixed size" answer "Too much data" end if If monospace fonts are not your thing then repeat until the formattedHeight of field "fixed size" = the height of field "fixed size" delete char -1 of field "fixed size" end repeat Obviously these scripts would need to be appropriately placed, either before or after the actual 'paste' command in the Edit button script of the Menubar group, along with a check that the 'focus' was on the appropriate field. Also, these may not work for keyboard shortcuts inside the IDE, but I'm led to believe that as a standalone they should.
