Copy from clipboard in excel/vba: size limit ?
I am looking to copy from clipboard in a vba string and I am having trouble doing this: I have used several code sample such as : http://www.cpearson.com/excel/clipboar.htm and http://www.vba-programmer.com/Snippe...Using_API.html but they all give the same result, that is the pasted text is cut in the middle. I am trying to paste the text: "Regions List: 0060aam3.wav Name In Out Duration -------------------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- VOICE 00:00:00.012 00:00:00.638 00:00:00.626 VOICE 00:00:00.712 00:00:00.884 00:00:00.172 07 00:00:00.150 00:00:00.389 00:00:00.239 VOICE 00:00:00.251 00:00:00.328 00:00:00.077 10 00:00:00.464 00:00:00.537 00:00:00.073 VOICE 00:00:00.746 00:00:00.860 00:00:00.114" Using the code : Dim myVar As Variant Dim MyDataObj As New DataObject MyDataObj.GetFromClipboard myVar = MyDataObj.GetText() But the myVar variable is set to "Regions List: 0060aam3.wav Name In Out Duration -------------------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- VOICE 00:00:00.012 00:00:00.638 00:00:00.626 VOICE " after this instruction. I haved searched in google but not seen any limitation on string size. I have tried to empty clipboard or call again getText but this doesn't work either. Have anyone ever experienced this ? Any idea ? Thanks for your feedback, Cyril |

Copy from clipboard in excel/vba: size limit ?
Cyril,
You code works for me. Maybe it is the copying stage that is not acting as expected ? Also, I would add a check to make sure there is something in the correct format to copy first: Const TEXTFORMAT As Long = 1 MyDataObj.GetFromClipboard If MyDataObj.GetFormat(TEXTFORMAT) Then myVar = MyDataObj.GetText() End If NickHK "Cyril" wrote in message oups.com...
