: Isn't there a way to copy & paste from Word, notepad or whatever, to the network? I've tried it several times in different ways, but none of them work.

: When posting 'scripting help wanted' (with a large script) or when adding a review, copying it would be real handy. Now I have to type everything again in the message/review board, which does not only take quite some time, but is also error-sensitive (with scripts f.e.).



I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't work... lets see:



sub get_date {

   my ($sec, $min, $hour, $day, $mon, $year, $dweek, $dyear, $daylight) = localtime(time());

   my (@months) = qw!01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12!;

     ($day < 10) and ($day = "0$day");

     $year = $year + 1900;

   

   return "$months[$mon]-$day-$year, $hour:$min:$sec";

}



Yep, it works.  Simple Ctrl-C then Ctrl-V.



Not sure what to tell you... I'm sure you know how to copy and paste... just highlight the text you want to copy, hit Ctrl-C, highlight the text-box here, and press Ctrl-V.



If it doesn't work... I'm not sure why.
