Re: Tab char doesn't work

[Bill Vlahos]

Sorry the actual script is:

on pasteKey -- replace returns and tabs with spaces before pasting for 
attachments description (actually any table)
   if the target contains revCell- then
  set the clipboardData[text] to replaceText(the 
clipboardData[text],return,space)
  set the clipboardData[text] to replaceText(the 
clipboardData[text],tab,space)
   end if
   paste
end pasteKey

 I put this script into a frontscript.

Re: Tab char doesn't work

[Jim Ault]

'tab' is a keyword, but not a command , 'return' is a command in a  
function and will be a different color


'space' and 'tab' should be the same color, just as 'comma'.

Try the simple 'replace tab with space in var
--
get the clipboardData[text]
replace tab with space in IT
set the clipboardData[text] to IT
--
   since replaceText is expecting a regEx string.
I think you need to escape the tab char for the string to work
