Run a script from the clipboard

[#1]

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if I am able to run a script from code stored in the clipboard.  So let say that I made a graph builder chart and saved the script to the clipboard.  Could I have a script then run what is in the clipboard?

How I would like to use this is if I'm working in one table and make a chart I like and have a similar table to it but with different data, I'd like to be able to save the script of the GB to the clipboard and then have a script in my toolbar I can press to then run the copied script on my second data table to make the same GB chart.

I know there are lots of ways to accomplish this already but they all involve more button clicking then I want to do!

Thanks for any ideas

Steve

Get Clipboard() returns clipboard as string, so you should be able to do it with Eval(Parse())

Eval(Parse(Get Clipboard()));

I would most likely add some error handling to the toolbar script
