I'm sure there is a way to do this more efficiently than I am doing this.

An outside application is passing data back into FMP on the clipboard. This data needs to be massaged before it can be used and the way for me to do this is in a script variable. The current solution is to 'paste' the data from the clipboard into a global field and then to set the variable to that global field.

Is there a way, some function I am missing, to set the contents of the data directly into the variable without having to use a global field as a staging area?

Thanks in advance for the forum's thoughts.

LaRetta,

Thanks for these suggestions. I actually need something within Filemaker itself as this is a GO application. Plugins, so far as I know, are not an option.

The paste to a global isn't the end of the world. Its just not as clean as I'd like.

Anyone with any other suggestions?

Thanks
