Copying Code "SELECTED" from FireFly Forums

[Jim Dunn]

Hi Paul,

Forgive me for not understanding this... but when I click "SELECT" to copy some code, and then CTRL-C on my keyboard, and then paste into NOTEPAD... it's all one long line... and I have to put in CRLF's manually...

Help!?!  : )

I have the problem too so I paste into wordpad first to retain the formatting. Then copy from wordpad and paste into editor.

[Paul Squires]

The problem is that different web browsers manipulate the text differently.

[Cho Sing Kum]

Paul is right.

I just tested Google Chrome copy and paste direct to editor and the formatting is retained.

IE7 has the problem.

IE8 has the same trouble.

No problem with FireFox it works like perfectly

The solution I found that works for me is to:

select the forum responce as a Reply with the QUOTE method, then I can copy the information I want from the reply edit window.  And, when I paste the information into note pad or PB-Editor  the CR/LF are retained and the formating is correct.

I am using Win-7 and IE8

IE has always had this problem, even in the PB forums...at least in the old ones it did.  I have a clipboard tool app I've posted a few times that can view all the different types of data in the clipboard.  If you compare RTF and Plain Text they are usually different, that is why pasting to other apps that read other types of clipboard data work.  IE screws up when placing the text there.
