hi, thanks, but how do I get this "Text I want to copy", it is selected, but somehow I have to make a string of it, before sending it to the clipboard. Somewhere I have seen SelStart, SelLength with Gambas, but just can not find that part any more - it seemed so clear, I did not give it any further notice - and that so clear part just does not work. :) btw. using ubuntu 09.10/gambas 2.13.
