how to replace string from clipboardData

[LuK]

Hi everybody,

is it possible to replace every text in the whole document which is stored in the clipboard?

eg:

to_replace = clipboardData.getData(“Text”)
document.selection.Replace to_replace,””,eeReplaceAll

regards

Yes, but you will need to use regular expressions built in the script, not EmEditor macro methods. You should refer to regular expression tutorials for JavaScript. See also: /help/macro/tutorial/tutorial_regexp.htm

After you do any replace with “to_replace”, you can copy the text back to the clipboard by using:

clipboardData.setData(“Text”, to_replace)
