Clipboard problem in string with "%" character

Post by cadtec » Tue Aug 04, 2020 9:13 am

Hello

If the string "%s\n cannot be &edited." is read into a variable with GetClipBoard, the string "%s" is removed.

Can anyone confirm this and what is the solution?

Best regards,
André

I can't seem to replicate that, whether I use Macro Scheduler to place "%s\n cannot be &edited." onto the clipboard or whether I do it manually. The MessageModal always seems to be %s\n cannot be &edited.

Code: Select all

Putclipboard>%s\n cannot be &edited.
GetClipBoard>TheClip
messagemodal>%TheClip%
