Copy text, modify text (i.e. remove spaces) paste

[tomkaas]

Take text in one field, modify it by removing spaces or adding characters and then pasting results in another scrollable field on a new line. I have tried scripting and calc. without success.

We'll probably need to know a little more about exactly what your are trying to do. I wouldn't assume at this point that it can't be done...

Hi Tom,

Please update your profile as to your platform, operating system and version of FileMaker you are using. There is a link just below your name on the Left. Click on the word "profile" (in blue).

I agree with Live Oak that what you are wanting to accomplish can be done, and that the more information you provide, the better the solution you receive back. What you have described can be read in a couple of different ways.

Please include any field names involved, and a descriptions of what you have now, and what you want to happen.

Hi Lee,

I have a text field or container named Keyword and lets say it has "black dog" as data. I wish to eliminate the space i.e. blackdog or add { } around the text i.e. {blackdog}. I then wish to cut the data from this field and paste it into another text field called KeyordList. Each keyword in the list is on it's own line seperated by a carrage return. I will need several buttons to either remove the space or add the brackets or both. I know how to remove the spaces with text funnels and add the brackets I also know how to copy or cut the text with script edit steps, but cannot figure how to paste each new keyword into the list on a new line.

I hope I have given you better info. Appreceiate the help.

Several buttons are not necessary, nor is cutting/copying and pasting. One button attached to the script below should do the trick.
