ILEMAKER SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 123
Copy All Records/Requests
Purpose
Copies the values of all records or the search criteria in all find requests to the Clipboard.
Format
Copy All Records/Requests
Options
None.
Compatibility
Originated in
FileMaker Pro 6.0 or earlier
Description
In Browse mode, this script step copies the values of all records to the Clipboard. In Find mode, it
copies all find requests to the Clipboard.
Text fields are copied in tab-delimited format, without styles, in the order they appear in the record
layout. Text in container fields is also copied. (This script step is equivalent to choosing Copy from
the Edit menu while holding down the Shift key (Windows) or Option key (OS
X) when there is no
active field.)
Notes
• Contents that you cut or copy to the Clipboard are accessible to other applications.
• When using the Copy All Records/Requests step with repeating fields, FileMaker Pro
inserts the group separator character between each repetition. You can use a text editor to
replace these characters with another delimiter such as a tab or space.
• Any fields located in popovers are ignored when you copy records.
