Change text list to boolean and search for it.

[kunkel321]

Code: Select all

copytext replace(formatlist("<clipboard>", "e", "<crlf>"), "<crlf>", " OR ");

Again, thanks for the script Highend! This post is a "caryover" from here http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=13954

So my thought is to get a list of search terms, such as:

• Jon Doe
  Amy Smith
  Don Martin

into my clipboard, then launch XY and a script via command line switch.

I've saved a Search Template called, "StudentSearch," and it appears that I can call it with

Code: Select all

loadsearch template "StudentSearch" , r

But I want the search string to be the new list of students in my clipboard (after it's made into "Jon Doe OR Amy Smith OR Don Martin," of course). I DON'T want to keep searching for the same text over and over... Is that possible to achieve?

Edit: "Don't" want...

Code: Select all

    copytext replace(formatlist("<clipboard>", "e", "<crlf>"), "<crlf>", " OR ");
    setkey "<clipboard>", "Named", "Named", "<xydata>\FindTemplates\StudentSearch.ini", 1;
    loadsearch "StudentSearch", "r";
