Appending Text

As previously introduced, there are two methods of appending text with the copytext command. These are as follows:

append: The append option adds text to the end of the last line of the existing text in the destination area.
appendline: The appendline option adds text to the destination area but adds it on a new line.

To demonstrate the append and the appendline options, please do the following:

Change the code for the pushbutton and the related function. The new code will be as follows:

pushbutton([TOOLBAR], "Append",{ "process":append_test});
			function append_test(){
copytext({"fromtext":"z_copyfrom","totext":"z_copyto", "append":true});
enter();
}

Type some text in the z-copyto textbox on the Easy Access screen.
Type some text in the z_copyfrom textbox on the Easy Access screen.
Click the pushbutton to intiiate the operation.

pushbutton([TOOLBAR], "Append",{ "process":append_test});
			function append_test(){

enter();
}

Type some new text in the z_copyfrom textbox on the Easy Access screen. Do not change the content of the z_copyto textbox.
Click the pushbutton to initiate the operation.
