copy-paste

In a project, I found some css files that "smell" like there are copy-pasted rules in them. I wonder what are your strategies for detecting copy-paste stuff in files. Just of curiosity i'd like to hear your tips and tricks for showing file similarities! The Chairman Try Simian . It is used for copy-paste-detection in source code (Java, C#, C, C++, COBOL, Ruby, JSP, ASP, HTML, XML, Visual Basic, Groovy), but you can run this on plain text files too. Ed Guiness There is a Copy-Paste Detection (CPD) project on sourceforge; http://pmd.sourceforge.net/cpd.html But even in large projects I find my

It seems there is currently no pure JavaScript method for accessing the system clipboard using most modern browsers, Internet Explorer being an exception. On numerous other Stack Overflow questions (e.g., Clipboard access using Javascript - sans Flash? ) it's explained that this limitation is a deliberate security measure to protect against web sites reading passwords or other sensitive data from the clipboard. While it seems obvious that reading from the clipboard would be a huge security risk, it's not clear to me why writing to the clipboard would be. What scenario, if any, are browsers

Is there any way to force Visual Studio to copy selected code to the clipboard as unformatted text? When I am copy-pasting code into Word or more often Outlook I have to do it via Notepad to get rid of the formatting...there has to be an easier way! Visual Studio does put unformatted text on the clipboard, but it also puts formatted text. (The clipboard supports multiple simultaneous formats, and the OS assumes that they're simply different representations of the same data, although there's no technical enforcement of that point.) The application you're using to paste then chooses its

MS Excel 2010 or 2007 or any version for that matter when you copy a cell(not selecting text from the cell) and pasting to any editor adds a line break and sends the cursor to next line. Its annoying to move up the cursor back to last line. It doesnt look much work to get the cursor back to last line but if you have to keep doing this a lot of times as a programmer i feel really bad. Any suggestions if there is a setting in excel to stop this? I tried looking online didnt find any thing and also looked up the options of excel, didnt find anything.

In GWT apparently you have to use some Flash-component to alter the clipboard. Since I don't want to use Flash, but I do want to copy and paste text from my application, I would like to set text selected if someone clicks on it. The only thing the user has to do is to type Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V to copy and paste (in Windows). Is this possible? How do I do this? More info: The app in which I would like to use this is at http://borkent-app2.appspot.com/ . It is an app I made to teach myself Hebrew words (my native language is Dutch). The Hebrew word is placed on the RootPanel using a Label. Sometimes I

I have a text field that I'm binding the paste event to using JQuery. When I first paste something into the form field and log its val() it returns a blank string. Likewise, if I paste again into the field, it returns the previous value before pasting. Essentially I have a race condition or sequencing issue, for lack of a better term. It seems the form field will not update until the paste event completes. Is there any way to check the value of the field after the paste event has completed and the field is actually populated? I want the actual field value, not the clipboardData, as I know that
