Ok, so I have an excel spreadsheet that contains data that I would like to copy directly into an SQLite db using Menial Base, a db editor. I have tried a number of different methods such as trying to convert from .csv and .txt extensions, and nothing is working the way I need it to, so I am now resorting to Automator. From what I underst...
I've noticed that when I copy and paste some cell ranges, that sometimes the conditions get pasted out of order, essentially changing the formatting scheme. Every time I paste this range of cells, I have to open the conditional formatting dialog and move the top format back to the bottom. I would love to know why this is happening, and...
If I have the following in an ASP.NET Web Form: and I copy and paste that line in the same page, I usually get the following: Obviously, nobody is going to name their controls in that way (if you don't want to name a textbox, simply don't asign an ID to it), and it's not nice having to change the ids of pasted controls. The same ha...
right now when I do CTRL A on my (fairly lame) webpages, the contents of textboxes and of listboxes/select-boxes is not selected and hence cannot be easily copied. Is there a way to fix this, either directly or by replacing these lame widgets with some similar ones that explicitly support this feature? ...
I have seen a few sites now where if you highlight text of an article, copy it, and then paste in they can add more text to it. Try copying and pasting a section of text from an article at http://belfasttelegraph.co.uk/ and you'll see what I mean - they add a link to the original article in the pasted text. How is this done? I'm assum...
Hello, I need help writing a batch file to update templates on a database. Basically, all our clients have their own folder, with multiple templates inside. Due to the computer illiteracy of my office (sigh), there's no real better way to fix this. However, I need a way to update those templates in a batch. For instance \\SERVER\New C...
Fmylife.com has a nifty feature that when you copy the text from a post, it actually copies a LINK (html) so that when you paste it into your email/facebook/instant messenger/twitter/whatever it automatically will link to the post, giving them more traffic and more page views and more ad revenue, etc. I looked into their javascript file...
When I copy and paste from a website that formats their text using <*li>, I get numbers or #'s when I paste into any text editor on my Mac (running Snow Leopard). Is there anything I can get that is equivalent to Windows Notepad, that will NOT copy the formatting, and just give me the text? Example of a site that I copy/paste from that g...

Hi, I have a 5 year old web application which runs tinymce 2.0.5.1 In this version it is possible - in IE 6,7,8 only to paste from MS Word and retain the tab characters. What we have done is to add a callback: paste_insert_word_content_callback : "findtabs" function findtabs(type, content) { if (type == "before"){ content ...
Sometimes, my boss will complain to us: Why do we need such a long time to implement a feature? Actually, the feature has been implemented in another application before, you just need to copy and paste codes from there. The cost should be low. It's really a hard question, because copy and paste codes is not such a simple thi...
I have a custom Hyperlink control. When this control is copied and pasted the pasted content has been converted to a plain old WPF Hyperlink, losing my custom control. Is there a way to specify custom assemblies to be used when the content is serialized to the clipboard during a Copy operation? ...
Hi guys, I have a problem. Part of my app requires text to be shown in a table. The text needs to be selectable/copyable (but not editable) and any URLs within the text need to be highlighted and and when tapped allow me to take that URL and open my embedded browser. I have seen a couple of solutions that solve one of either of these p...
I can't figure out how to simulate sending Ctrl+C to an external program. When I run the program manually through CMD, when I press ctrl+c it will abort and ask me if I want to save before it shuts down completely. I'm trying to simulate this through C# but it doesn't seem to work. This is what I am doing now: // Create new pro...

Hello everyone, In Google Chrome you can retrieve the text of a JavaScript alert/dialog by simply having the dialog open and doing CTRL-C on the dialog. This will put the text in the dialog into the clipboard. I'm trying to use SendMessage to send CTRL-C to perform a copy on the text of a JavaScript dialog. I've already managed to do t...

Sites like hotscript.com offer tons of scripts you can download for free or a fee. Are those scripts useful for programmers? For example, you can implement such a script into your program and modify it to your needs. But some of the scripts seems kind of shaddy.. ...
