Hi, how would I accomplish:

Paste script step that pastes into a field that already contains data. When pasted the "pasted data" gets appended to the end of data (data being text) without a space.

For example field contains:

Test

If I paste a "String of text" into it I get

TestString of Text

I want to get when I paste

Test String of Text

Would I achieve that within the script or within the field via format or auto enter calculation or alike?

Thank you.

the "pasted data" gets appended to the end of data (data being text) without a space.

That's true. It also gets appended without a carriage return. And without a tab character. Or a comma. Or a period. Or a "Here's the beginning of a new text" string. All of these are the same to Filemaker - you can't expect it to come up with your preferred separator, or even to guess that you want one. So just insert your separator before doing the paste.

Got it, thanks. Not a problem, just thought there might be a way to automate it.

Of course there's a way to automate it. You just need to add another script step before Paste[]. Why are you pasting anyway, instead of using Set Field[]?

Thanks, I have a lot of records which need to be updated on daily bases with information from internet (a lot of different sources). We do not know when the internet data will change and we might not need to use all of it, maybe some so when we notice changes and copy them from the net via copy and paste it is much easier to just press paste in Filemaker and have the info added into the field then it is to click into the field, hit space and then hit ctrl +v.

So basically before the paste scrip step I would add another step that would enter the field and append "space" at the end of data that is already in the field?

Yes.

Thank you.
