Description
Deletes the contents of the specified field in the current record and saves the contents to
the Clipboard. Cut removes the contents of the field. To duplicate the field information, use
the Copy script step on page 40.

script step to update the record in the browser window.
Example
The following example takes notes from a "Recent Notes" field and pastes them at the
end of a "Previous Notes" field (creating a history of notes).
Enter Browse Mode [ ]

• Select entire contents copies the entire contents of a field to the Clipboard. If you do
not use Select entire contents, only the selected portion of the field's data is copied.

to copy. When no field is specified and nothing is selected, FileMaker Pro copies the
