It sounds like the ClipboardFusion text scrubbing might be stripping out some stuff that the code needs to run. You can add Illustrator to the Ignore Programs list in the ClipboardFusion Settings, and then it shouldn't try to do anything with the text.

If you need the text in the Clipboard History or Recent Items still, you can set the Text Scrubbing mode to something like "Auto-scrub all except on double-copy," instead of putting it on the Ignore Programs list. Then, when you copy from Illustrator, if you press Ctrl + C twice (quickly), it will still copy the text to the History/Recent Items, but won't modify the text.

Hope that helps!

There sure is! On the Text Replace tab, add a new rule with <span> in the Match Text box, and leave the Replace Text box blank. When you scrub text, it will also run the Text Replace rule.

Ah no, that's not currently possible, sorry

I will add a feature request to our list for RegEx support on the Text Replace rules, and we'll post an update if/when we're able to implement it

Thanks!

@Paul: Vote added, thanks!

In the latest ClipboardFusion Beta, you can now use RegEx in the Text Replace rules. Please note that Text Replace has been moved to an Action in the Trigger rules (Settings > Triggers).

Please let us know if you have any questions after updating.

Thanks!
