Hiya Scott,

When I examine _CLIPTEXT's contents I see chr(13)'s but no chr(10). Perhaps you could use the StrTran() function to add the LineFeeds:

cClipText = StrTran(_ClipText, chr(13), chr(13) + chr(10))

Hope this helps.

>Anyone know the win api calls to get the data from the clipboard and store it to a variable? I am using VFP5.0 and have looked at _cliptext and getclipdata() in foxtools.fll and none of these return the 'correct' value. The _cliptext seems to strip the chr(13) chr(10) and getclipdata() doesn't seem to do anything(I am using openclip() first).

When I look at the clipboard with clipbrd.exe everything looks fine, when I paste the clipboard text into any other application it pastes fine. But when I look at the text in FoxPro it seems to remove any chr(13) chr(10) information. I need to parse this data and the chr(13) chr(10) characters are the sperators. Any Ideas? Thanks
