char(10) and double quotes
When I put in the following, I get the expected result in the cell. However,
when I cut and paste the cell value to notepad or any other text editor I get double quote marks around text. ="line1"&CHAR(10)&"line2" Shows no double quotes markes in Excel, but cut and paste to notepad shows double quote marks: "line1 line2" Is there a way to prevent these superfluous double quote marks when doing a cut/paste to a text editor? |

Probably not easily - I duplicated your situation. Also when I put
line1 in cell A4 line2 in cell A5 and in A6 put the formula =A4 & Char(10) & A5 the result over in Notepad was the same: "line1 [squarebox] line2" "JohnE" wrote: When I put in the following, I get the expected result in the cell.

You could use a macro.
Saved from a previous post: I used the PutInClipboard routine that Chip Pearson has: http://www.cpearson.com/excel/clipboard.htm With this sub: Option Explicit Sub testme() Dim MyDataObj As DataObject Set MyDataObj = New DataObject MyDataObj.SetText ActiveCell.Text MyDataObj.PutInClipboard End Sub And then pasted (manually) into NotePad. No double quotes were inserted. But I did see a little square where the alt-enter was. Chip has instructions that you have to follow (including the tools|references with "Microsoft Forms 2.0 object library") on that sheet. ========= If you wanted to copy multiple cells, this may help you: Option Explicit Sub testme() Dim MyDataObj As DataObject Dim myCell As Range Dim myRow As Range Dim myRng As Range Dim myRowStr As String Dim myStr As String Set MyDataObj = New DataObject Set myRng = Selection.Areas(1) myStr = "" For Each myRow In myRng.Rows myRowStr = "" For Each myCell In myRow.Cells myRowStr = myRowStr & vbTab & myCell.Text Next myCell myRowStr = Mid(myRowStr, Len(vbTab) + 1) 'get rid of leading vbtab myStr = myStr & vbCrLf & myRowStr Next myRow myStr = Mid(myStr, Len(vbCrLf) + 1) 'get rid of leading vbcrlf (2 chars!) MyDataObj.SetText myStr MyDataObj.PutInClipboard End Sub If you're new to macros: Debra Dalgleish has some notes how to implement macros he http://www.contextures.com/xlvba01.html David McRitchie has an intro to macros: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm Ron de Bruin's intro to macros: http://www.rondebruin.nl/code.htm (General, Regular and Standard modules all describe the same thing.)
