Hello,

I'm trying to paste some text into asterisks with

Code: Select all

clipboard := clipboard
Send,% "*" ClipBoard "*"
But instead of

Code: Select all

*text
text text text
text*
I get

Code: Select all

***text

text text text

text

***
Is there any way to fix my command perhaps?

Some editors treat `r`n (CR FF) as one break, others as two. Try this:

Code: Select all

clip:=clipboard
StringReplace, clip, clip, `r`n, `n, All
Send, % clip 
return

I see.. although, where would I put in the asterisks?
