How to select and copy specific text from Infowindow to clipboard

ShravanBonagiri — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 15:09:11 GMT

Hi All,

I would like to select specific text from the Infowindow and copy it to clipboard. Right now I am able to copy entire window. But my requirement is to select specific string and copy it to clipboard. Any help would be appreciated.
Here is my code:
private function onMapClick(event:MapMouseEvent):void
   {
    var latlong:MapPoint = WebMercatorUtil.webMercatorToGeographic(event.mapPoint) as MapPoint;
    myMap.infoWindow.label = "Lat/Long: " + latlong.y.toFixed(6) + "/ " + latlong.x.toFixed(6);
    myMap.infoWindow.show(event.mapPoint);
    System.setClipboard(myMap.infoWindow.label);
   }

Thanks,
Sam

What is the specific string that you want to copy to your clipboard? The Lat and Long value?

Yes! I want to copy Lat value separately and Long value separately, if possible.

Since you already have two values, you can simply use them and format the string to whatever you want.

For example:
System.setClipboard(latlong.y.toFixed(6).toString() + "\n" + latlong.x.toFixed(6).toString());

However, notepad does not support regular expressions, so you will have to paste it into a word doc.
