find a clipboard value
Posted: Wed Nov 10, 2010 5:09 am
Would like to find value copied from file 1 and find the copied value in file 2.
I have 2 files open in single textpad. I arranged them cascade vertically.
My intent is to select a value present on alternate lines and copy it - CTRL+C.
Then using CTRL+TAB, jump to the other file and find F5 - paste the copied value in the find dialo box.
When I record this macro, it does it fine. select - copy - F5 -find box - paste value copied and finds it in file2.
But when I playback the macro, even though it has selected and copied the value from file 1, but the Find is not getting the paste value.
Any suggestions or if someone has encountered similar problem.
Once I find the row, I will select the row, copy-paste it to a thrid, ie for later. I want the above to get working to go to this task.
Please help.
