I recently was working on getting fields to accept unformatted text in a drag

looking for.
As an aside, I was importing clipboard data from an Excel Spreadsheet copy, and
interspersed in the actual data were non-printing codes. When I checked their
ASCII values they were WAY outside the range of letters, numbers and special
characters. Upon further research, they turned out to be old characters that
use to be used in DOS applications for drawing boxes around a bit of text. I
was getting the one for the bottom border character for a vertical line for a
double line box.
That's alright in theory as Unicode has these chars:

"All of these characters are intended for compatibility with
character cell graphic sets in use prior to 1990."
HOWEVER, I don;t just suppose Livecode converts those to Unicode
on-the-fly when
importing/dragging text into a field.

So the moral to the story is, just because you get the clipboardData [“text”]
does not mean it’s what you expect! :-)
