get info from clipboard

[dmaxj]

Is it possible to copy the contents of the clipboard to a script variable?

I need to copy a record from one table into another table. However, I need to retain the contents of the clipboard prior to copying a record onto the clipboard.

Any clues ?

Thanks

I can't think of any way to copy directly from the clipboad into a variable but you probably could paste the contents into a global field and from there populate your variable.

As far as copying records from one table to another have you considered importing them? The not so obvious part is that you don't have to export anything. The found set in your source table can act as the import source.

Thanks- I mananged to go the global field route.

Importing and exporting not needed- scripting only.
