ILEMAKER PRO SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 123
Copy Record/Request
Purpose
Copies the values of a record or find request to the Clipboard.
Format
Copy Record/Request
Options
None.
Compatibility
Originated in
FileMaker Pro 6.0 or earlier
Description
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 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 Record/Request 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.
Example 1
Copies the contents of the current record and displays a custom dialog box.
