'Extract' comma delimited list

I have FM 11 advanced on OSX

I produce a 'found set' of 'late' paying members. ok

I want to 'extract', as a comma delimited string, all the found set email addresses and then copy them to the clipboard so the user can 'paste' them into his email program (whatever that is).

What's the simplest way to do this?

Thank you

Ugh, why not email out of FM? Each recipient gets his own email. You don't even need an email client.

Otherwise, you'll need to walk the records and set a variable to the email addresses, then substitute commas for carriage returns.

pseudo-code (where "cr" is a carriage return):

Go to first

Loop

Set $list; $list & "cr" & emailfield

go to next, exit after last

end loop

Substitute ($list, "cr" & ", ")

Set global to $list

copy
