Examples

Sub CopyExample()  
   Dim objTextDoc As TextDocument  
   Dim objEditPt As EditPoint, iCtr As Integer  

   ' Create a new text file.  
   DTE.ItemOperations.NewFile("General\Text File")  

   ' Get a handle to the new document and create an EditPoint.  
   objTextDoc = DTE.ActiveDocument.Object("TextDocument")  
   objEditPt = objTextDoc.StartPoint.CreateEditPoint  

   ' Insert ten lines of text.  
   For iCtr = 1 To 10  
      objeditpt.Insert("This is a test." & Chr(13))  
   Next iCtr  

   ' Copies the fourth word of the fourth line, pastes it,   
   ' and then cuts the fourth word of the eighth line.  
   objEditPt.StartOfDocument()  
   objEditPt.LineDown(3)  
   objEditPt.WordRight(3)  
   objEditPt.Copy(4)  
   objEditPt.Paste()  
   objEditPt.LineDown(3)  
   objEditPt.WordRight(3)  
   objEditPt.Cut(4)  
End Sub

Remarks

If the argument is a TextPoint object, Copy copies a string representing the text between the edit point and PointOrCount. If the argument is an integer, then Copy copies a string representing the specified number of characters following the edit point (counting one for each implied newline sequence at the end of each line). If PointOrCount is negative, then Copy copies text before the edit point rather than after.

If Append is true, then Copy appends the selection to the current clipboard contents rather than replacing it.
