For iCtr = 1 To 10
objeditpt.Insert("This is a test." & Chr(13))
Next iCtr
' Copies the fourth word of the fourth line and pastes it,
' then cuts the fourth word of the eighth line.

Remarks
If PointOrCount
is a TextPoint object, Cut cuts the text between the edit point and PointOrCount
and places it on the clipboard. If PointOrCount
is an integer, then Cut cuts the text after the edit point for the specified number of characters following the edit point (adding one for each implied newline sequence at the end of each line). If PointOrCount
is negative, then Cut cuts text before the edit point.
If Append
is true
, then Cut appends the selection to the current clipboard contents rather than replacing it.
