Hi all, I frequently need to paste something copied from elsewhere into the IDE as a string literal (most often, when building unit tests). This means slapping quotes around it and doubling any internal quotes, which is a nuisance. So first I filed this feature request:
http://www.realsoftware.com/feedback/viewreport.php?reportid=nykpjruo But then I realized that in the meantime, I could add a script to the IDE Scripts menu that does this too. Here's the script: // Pastes the clipboard content while converting to a string literal. Dim s As String = Clipboard s = ReplaceAll( s, """", """""" ) SelText = """" + s + """" Save this in your IDE Scripts folder as "Paste as String Literal", and now at least you have a way to do it. I'd still prefer to access it from the Edit menu under Paste Special, but until then, maybe you'll find this useful. (And yes, this could be a one-liner, but I prefer the clarity of multiple steps in this case.) Best, - Joe P.S. Anybody have any other generally useful IDE scripts to share? -- Joe Strout -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Verified Express, LLC "Making the Internet a Better Place" http://www.verex.com/ _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
