Dear Digital Workshop,

I have a text object with some text and than a variable in the middle of the text. I wanted to use the Copy object to clipboard to copy the text plus the variable.

Currently the Copy Object doesn't include the variable instead it displays it as <VAR> rather than the content of the variable.

Is this the way it works?

Bye,

Joe

Hi Joe,

You could try breaking up the text into variables, then joining them together to copy the sum variable to the Clipboard. Example of a text box with insert variable...

"The quick brown <Text_B> jumps over the lazy dog.

In a script action on a button, have something like this...

---
Text_A = "The quick brown "
Text_C = " jumps over the lazy dog."
TextAll = Text_A + Text_B + Text_C
---

Then after the the script action, use the Copy-variable-to-Clipboard action. (in this case, copying <TextAll>)

I'm not sure if there is a way to "copy a variable to clipboard" using script? In any case, script is not required to get the result, as it could be all done via the GUI actions if you don't use OpusScript.
