Re: [WDSCI-L] Next release - Paste Overlay

Rob,

My issue is not the +dlm+. It's the long list of column names.
This are typically provided in an excel document.
I use the block copy all the time for things inside the editor.

Thanks,
Greg

But Roger may be proposing an easier work around. Simply paste in the text
you're trying to copy from Excel, etc. Then block out the area for the "+
dlm +" and then do a block fill. Of course I'm sure Buck could propose
some kind of scripting to do that even easier, or at least point out how
scripting is lacking in Eclipse.

Greg,

If I understand your issue it is that you want to overlay the + dlm + on

each line.

Why not use block fill for this? Alt=r where you want the block to
start and Alt-r on the bottom right of the block and block fill with '+
dlm +'. This may not be exactly the way you want to do it but the
result is the same. I use this all the time. In fact I have a User Key

Action of Shft-Ctl-B to do my bloickFill.
