Copying text (code) in and out of the Game Editor?

Postby keithml » Sun Aug 21, 2005 5:19 pm

Hi.

I am a new user of the Game Editor and am enjoying the software so far. I was wondering how I could copy text in and out of the editor. I have some source code functions I would like to load in. The clipboard seems to only work within the editor program and there doesn't appear to be a way to import/export source code from a plain text file. How do I do this?

Thanks,
Keith

I found the buttons. They are available per code block as opposed to the entire project. How about copy/paste of text from another source. Am I doing something wrong there?

I'm almost sure you use "Ctrl + Insert" to copy and "Shift + Insert" to paste, don't ya? You should use "Ctrl + C" to copy and "Ctrl + V" to paste. It works OK for me.

As suggested, I just tried the old CTRL-C and CTRL-V. Which oddly I do use to do my cut and paste, I rarely every touch insert and delete.

I have no idea why, but, before I was unable to copy from the editor to notepad and vice versa. The game editor kept its own clipboard and the rest of windows kept a different one. And now it seems to work fine.

Was I dreaming? Was it just too much Mountain Dew?

I should get more sleep I guess!

THANKS!
