I've copied the contents of the clipboard into a variable, and then send that information to the screen in Reflection. However, if there's any crlf characters the screen information displays incorrectly. Since there is no REPLACE command, I've written my own function with the intent of removing these characters if present in the string. But so far all of my attempts have failed. I'm at home now, so I can't copy and paste my function right now, but basically I'm stepping through the variable using FOR I = 1 TO LEN(STRING) (or something like that) and check each character for "<Ctrl+M>" or "<Ctrl+J>" and then don't copy them to a new variable.

This hasn't amounted to anything favorable. I'm looking for some assistance in how I might be able to accomplish this. On Monday I can copy the code here if that would be helpful....
 
Hi,
Code:
Dim s As String
For i = 1 to Len(String)
   Select Case Mid(String, i, 1)
      Case Chr(10), Chr(13)
      Case else
         s = s & Mid(String, i, 1)
   End Select
Next

String = s
