I dont recall having this problem before, but lately, when I copy/paste scripts from the forum into the SL Scripting window, they end up with lots of ????? where the tabs are supposed to be. The scripts still work fine, but are very hard to read.
What is the best way to import a script into SL ????

Copy them from here into a text editor like Notepad if you're on windows. Then copy/paste from notepad into SL.
It shouldn't be necessary, but doing this will strip any non-basic characters out of your text, thus cleaning it up nicely. You also usually have to do this before pasting into Excel if you're copying text from a website that has columns. It cleans it all up well. |

just a little side note on cutting and pasting...
for almost two weeks it was driving me insane that [ctrl]-[inst] does not paste! in fact, it does nothing except activate insert wich really screws up manual building. you have to use [ctrl]-[V] to paste..which I didnt even know was possible, always having used [ctrl]-[inst] for all other windows applications. |

I have *never* heard of anyone using cntl-ins to paste. it kinda boggles my mind you never new about cntl-v, which is universal on windows, mac, and even linux

*shrug*
ive been using computers for 22 years now...and as long as I can recal, [ctrl]-[inst] was the paste key combo... just one of those little things... SL is the first time it hasnt worked, so it never occured to me that I was using a weird combo. I am now trying to retrain myself to use [ctrl]-[v] in all my other applications |

Shift/Ctrl-Ins has been the unix paste function for a long time now -- use putty and you'll know this well, Ctrl-X/C/V won't work there, only Shift/Ctrl-Ins.
Modern Windowed systems now use Ctrl-X/C/V -- but you couldn't use them on lunix command lines, as trying to hit Ctrl-C in a program would break/quit. Cheers. |
