Sun, 22 Jan 2006The right way to put Unicode on the pasteboard The previous solution to my copy-Unicode problem turns out not to work for non-Unicode characters, at least not for the sort of screwy characters testers like to paste into apps. So I had to solve it right. I put the solution here in hopes that it'll be found in a web search someday and save someone some time.
For the Windows version and for copying non-Unicode, look here: http://www.exampler.com/testing-com/review-copies/test-strings-0.1.zip. That's an alpha version of a collection of utility methods oriented toward helping testers mess with text fields. They're inspired by James Bach and Danny Faught's perlclip. They work on both the Mac and Windows. The source will eventually live on the Scripting for Testers site. |
