sqInt clipboardSize(void)
Parms: NONE
return: size of clipboard item in bytes
From: Interpreter
Why:
Get size of clipboard item
Responsibility:
We get size of clipboard item so we can see if we can load it, if it's too big, then the primitive fails.
After this call we invoke clipboardReadIntoAt to read a textual item
MacIntosh
os-9/OSXCarbon
There is an extended clipboard plugin build for Sophie that lets you access items other than text.
Cocoa:
Use NSPasteboard
[[possibleData precomposedStringWithCanonicalMapping] UTF8String]
iPhone
Use UIPasteboard
[[possibleData precomposedStringWithCanonicalMapping] UTF8String]
Unix
Supported, gets data from X clipboard
Windows
Oddly get CF_UNICODETEXT, convert to CP_UTF8 and count characters, toss the extra lf from a crlf pair
BUGS
Well the issue of CR for textual data versus CRLF rears up. Really I think any removal of data from the clipboard should be done in the image
versus being buried in the primitive code
