AW: [XXE] copyChar in conjunction with replace

[Huditsch, Roman (LNG-VIE)]

Hi,

Unfortunately, that is not quite what I needed.

I just want to copy the replaced text to the clipboard. The pasting is done in 
an extra step.
My problem is that the copyChar command is ignoring the replacement done by the 
"get" expression. 

If I change 

<command name="Test">
   <macro>
     <sequence>
       <test expression="string-length($selectedChars) &gt; 0 and
                         contains($selectedChars, '.')" />
       <get expression="replace($selectedChars, '\.', '. ')" />
       <command name="paste" parameter="to %_" />
     </sequence>
   </macro>
</command>

To 

<command name="Test">
   <macro>
     <sequence>
       <test expression="string-length($selectedChars) &gt; 0 and
                         contains($selectedChars, '.')" />
       <get expression="replace($selectedChars, '\.', '. ')" />
       <command name="copyChars" parameter="%_" />
     </sequence>
   </macro>
</command>

I just get the selected characters without the additional whitespace in my 
clipboard.


Best regards,
Roman
