Multiple use of \^ in clip library?

Post by Xennon »

:?:
I'm not sure if there is a limit of only 1 use of the hot-spot code (\^) in a clip library entry or if I'm doing something wrong.

I want to mkae use of the selected text more than once in a clip-library macro thingy but only the first one ever gets replaced with the selected text.

Can someone clarify if this is possible or not and if so what's the trick in doing it?

Thanks.

No because I want to use the functionality of the clip-library which is nothing like a macro. I have written macros to do the job I want, but i like the idea of the clip library.

However, if i'm right and u cannot use the hotspot control code more than once, then i have no other option by to use a macro. Although i fail to see how the developers could have overlooked the value of the substitution ability of the clip library. That's why i suspected i was doing something wrong.

Thanks for the suggestion though.
