Hello Jim,
Interesting concept...I do know there are functions to handle setting a
beginning location and ending location on the same line, but I'll need to
dig some on points that aren't on the same line.
I'm playing with the current functions to mark a phone number on the screen,
then process that number, converting any letter characters into their
appropriate numerical character before writing the newly converted line to
the clipboard. It is still in the beginning stages, but looks promising!
Thanks,
Dennis Brown, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
