Remove double spaces from pasted code samples in blog

  • Bài viết

If you highlight a recent code sample from my blog and paste it into VFP, you might see the code double spaced. This can be annoying, especially if there are line continuation characters:

            x= "This is a " +;

            "continued line"

I’ve found that to avoid this, I can paste into a new Outlook message (which I have configured to use MSWord as my email editor), then click on (or alt-shift-F10) the little smart tag icon to alter the paste format to “Match Destination Formatting”, then copy/paste into VFP, the extra lines are removed.

The host blogging software changed a few months ago, so the HTML for older posts may behave differently with regard to double-spacing.

    NOTEPAD works as well, paste into a blank NOTEPAD window. (be sure that WORDWRAP is turned off!) Then select the text and copy/cut it back to the clipboard. Then paste it into VFP and it does not have the extra blank lines.

    After you copied the code, then type the following in the command window and run it:

    _cliptext = STRTRAN(_cliptext,CHR(13)+CHR(13),CHR(13))

    Then paste it to editor to see the result.

    Windows Mobile 5.0 comes with a Web Browser (v6 is due out any day now). It runs on Pocket PCs and SmartPhones.
