Hello everybody.

I am playing on Multiplayer server (which isn't mine), and PasteBin is not supported.
So, the problem is, I want my programs on the server, but I don't want to rewrite everything from scratch.

I once saw my friend on server using some kind of program to copy&paste text into the editor, bet he wouldn't tell me the trick, so I would like to know, if you could recommend me something?

Thank you for reading.

You can copy paste one line. Or you would have to get a macro

In the edit program, instead of just trying control-c and -v, press control once, which brings up the save/exit options, then press and hold control. Then, c or v as necessary.

Sjele, thank you for replying, and helping me.
I can't copy 1 by 1, because it takes too much time, better be off rewriting everything again.

As for the macros, I don't know what they really are (or do), because I've never used one.
If you could recommend me a good macro, I could check it out.

I already knew that I could do this, but this only copy&pastes one line, as I said, 1 by 1 is not an option.

use notepad++ to edit it if you are in ssp
fully compatible with copy paste
or have acces to server files

You obviously did not read the OP. He is on a server(not SSP), and does not have access to server files.

This has already been answered. You can either copy line by line or retype the entire program, if you can't get the server owner to add the files for you.

Actually, I think the ones on that screen are the only ones here on the forums…. I think someone needs to make a new one, since those don't seem to work on my system. :)/>/>

I found one on the forums (different than this one), and it's working perfectly and super easy to use, but I can't seem to find that post.
I could upload it somewhere and post a link, but I don't know it it's allowed.
