I did use to do this in the editor directly by selecting a line and then using the copy to clipboard functionality of the editor but it was patchy and missed lines sometimes. *** Copy text in editor window to a file for processing ***        Editor_csv = new File()        If Editor_csv.exists("Editor.csv")           Editor_csv.delete("Editor.csv")        Endif        Editor_csv.create("Editor.csv", "RW")        Editor_csv.puts(form.container3.editor1.value) then to process Do While NOT Editor_csv.eof()     cText = trim(Editor_csv.gets())     ** process line Enddo
