Thomas has updated the macro to account for blocks of text that include line breaks. Seems to work great now :)

I didn't test it with multiple paragraphs :)

We'll definitely look into it again and figure out how to fix it. ]]> RE: Wanted: Macro to rewrap and quote text https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/wanted-macro-to-rewrap-and-quote-text/?ID=6e04c604-9a19-4920-b959-2487a8e15706#8 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 22:54:48 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/wanted-macro-to-rewrap-and-quote-text/?ID=6e04c604-9a19-4920-b959-2487a8e15706#8 ClipboardFusion Thanks, it's almost perfect -- However, the first line of each paragraph (other than the first) is missing a > quote mark.

I poked at it a bit and I'm not quite sure how to get around this, but my C# skills don't actually exist, which probably explains my inability to tweak it :)

It also drops multiple consecutive spaces, but changing StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries to StringSplitOptions.None seemed to work around that without anything too obvious breaking.

Any chance you/Thomas could tweak it so that additional paragraphs get an initial quote mark? -- I don't really care if the blank line between paragraphs gets a quote mark or not, although it wouldn't hurt if it did (but it's generally fairly readable either way, if this is difficult) ]]> RE: Wanted: Macro to rewrap and quote text https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/wanted-macro-to-rewrap-and-quote-text/?ID=6e04c604-9a19-4920-b959-2487a8e15706#7 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 16:01:51 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/wanted-macro-to-rewrap-and-quote-text/?ID=6e04c604-9a19-4920-b959-2487a8e15706#7 ClipboardFusion Ok, here we go!

One of our devs here is going to make a macro that can do this, and I'll post it as soon as it's available.

Thanks! ]]> RE: Wanted: Macro to rewrap and quote text https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/wanted-macro-to-rewrap-and-quote-text/?ID=6e04c604-9a19-4920-b959-2487a8e15706#5 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 22:25:47 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/wanted-macro-to-rewrap-and-quote-text/?ID=6e04c604-9a19-4920-b959-2487a8e15706#5 ClipboardFusion Oops, I just realized my request might not have been as clear as I intended -- I have my head buried so far in the email world that when I hear quote marks, I think > marks at the start of a line, not "proper" doublequotes. Basically I'm wanting to be able to reply to messages from a web-based forum type system via email, but quote the original message.

My goal is to take text, word-wrap it (somewhere around 72 characters, a bit shorter or a bit longer is fine since words are consistent lengths), then prepend every line with "> "

Prepending is easy, but I'm less certain how I'd word-wrap a paragraph. If I were to take the message I'm writing here and run it through, the results would look like this:

Code
Copy

The goal is to better handle replies in a web-based ticket system that does a poor job of quoting. At a minimum, what I'd like would be to strip any leading spaces and > marks, word-wrap lines at or around 72-78 characters, then add a "> " to the start of each line.

Note that we generally only have one level of quoting as we trim very aggressively, so supporting multiple quote levels isn't critical. ]]>
