To set new clipboard content use Put Text action That makes sense. Thanks Oleg. Hey can you (or somebody) please test this script? I think I might not be using Put Text correctly(?) Assign a hotkey for a trigger. Then before running the Task, makes sure some original text is on your Windows clipboa...

It looks like I can assign the text contents to a variable by way of Set Variable OldClipBrd with {ClipBoardContent}.
But then later can I put that text back on the clipboard?
I tried it like in the img, but it didn't seem to work.

How do I know if a variable is global or local? For example in my "Logic and RegEx Sample" post https://robotask.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2737 those are all "local" variables, correct? They are not ones from the list of "RoboTask Variables" this in Menu>Options...

Ah yes... I see now that the code is VBA. That's okay. No worries. Thanks for the reply.

I might be "biting off more than I can chew" with this project, but I'd like to determine the sender of an email. I guess this is probably possible with VBScript(??) I'm using an installed version of Outlook. It is Outlook Version 1920 and it syncs with an Exchange Server at the public sch...

Ah yes! Now that I think of it, the corresponding character in Excel is CHAR(13), so this makes sense. Thanks Oleg!

EDIT: Strange how is takes two steps. Chr(13) to Chr(10) to "|." A bit kludgy, but that's okay--It seems to work fine.

Yes, fixed. Many thanks!

Hi There, I'd like to find-and-replace a "new line character" in a string of text. I think that's what you call it? For example given this Fib Wap Ding Bar I'd like to find `n and replace it with | and the result would be: Fib|Wap|Ding|Bar I tried `n \n <New Line> <Enter> None of them work.

Maybe a bug, or maybe I'm doing something wrong... If I have a Task with so many steps that they do not all fit vertically in the window, then I have to scroll up and down to access the top and bottom steps. This is normal. However I think that whenever the list "refreshes" (redraws?) it a...

Thanks for the reply. I think I figured it out... I didn't have curly bracks {} on the First Operand of my IF statements. Fixing that took care of it. I did go ahead and change it so my IF statements are looking at the {found} variable though. Below is the script, with that one change. Some of the d...
