Code: $cb Returns the first 256 characters of the clipboard contents. $cb(N) Returns $crlf delimited lines from text currently in the clipboard. Properties: len $cb(0) returns the number of lines in the clipboard $cb(0).len return the total length of all lines in the clipboard $cb(1) returns line 1 from the clipboard $cb(1).len returns the length of line 1 Then you would just highlight something, and press the f key you assigned.
