Paul, I tested a little bit more and this code works for me: on mouseUp lock clipboard set the rawClipBoardData to empty set the rawClipboardData["CF_UNICODETEXT"] to textEncode(fld 1, "UTF-16" ) unlock clipboard end mouseUp
and the IDE doesn't crashes anymore. BTW. The rawclipboarddata key is supposed to be ["CF_UNICODETEXT"] and not ["CF_UNICODE"] as the docs say.

Hi Paul, I test your approach, but when running the code in the DIE, LiveCode crashes immediatly. When debugging the code, it doesn't crashes, but stops at setting the rawclipboarddata with an error "clipboard is not locked". This happens anyhow, if I am using "lock clipboard" or not. I'll file it Tiemo -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: use-livecode [mailto:use-livecode-boun...@lists.runrev.com] Im Auftrag von Paul Hibbert via use-livecode Gesendet: Dienstag, 7.

Tiemo, I’m not sure if this will help because I’m testing on Mac, but I did a little bit of experimenting with the new ‘rawClipboardData’, it allows plain text to be copied out of LC, just to prove it, here’s a button script copied via my now modified Script Buddy plugin… on mouseUp local tClip if the selectedText is empty then set the clipBoardData["text"] to fld “myTextField" else copy the selectedText end if if the altKey is down then -- Convert the clipBoard to plain text put the clipBoardData["text"] into tClip lock the clipBoard ## Use some code lifted from the LiveCode Dictionary… set the rawClipBoardData to empty -- Clear ALL ClipboardData if the platform is "Linux" then set the rawClipboardData["text/plain;charset=utf-8"] \ to textEncode(tClip, "UTF-8" ) -- Linux if the platform is "Win32" then set the rawClipboardData["CF_UNICODE"] \ to textEncode(tClip, "UTF-16" ) -- Windows if the platform is "MacOS" then set the rawClipboardData["public.utf8-plain-text"] \ to textEncode(tClip, "UTF-8" ) -- OSX unlock the clipboard end if end mouseUp At last, no extra line spacing! :-) Normally when I paste from LC into Mail I see extra line spacing, and I would have to copy and paste via a plain text editor to remove it. Emptying the clipBoard and setting the rawClipboardData as above seems to work, on Mac at least, hopefully it should work with Excel on Windows too.
