Would like to see something related to this added to Fileappend, so that the contents can be copied to the clipboard and not just a file.

Fileappend,
(

Whatever text

), Clipboard ( if you could do clipboard > .exe, somehow would be even better.)

If you want to put multiple lines of text on the clipboard with a continuation section, you can do that with this example:

Clipboard =
(Join`r`n ; CR+LF is more typical on the clipboard than LF-only).
Line 1
Line 2

) ; Leave a single blank line if you want "Line 2" to also end in CR+LF.

I don't understand how you would correct the contents on the clipboard, so that it would have the normal CR of a Windows text/doc/rtf, but without pasting this to the hard drive first or manually editing each line.

Can you change/add the CR +LF, for each line, while still in the clipboard?

Could you give an example?

I'm unaware of any typical plain text formats on the clipboard whose lines end in CR rather than CR+LF. However, there might be some that end only in LF.

If there is text on the clipboard whose lines end only in CR, you could convert each CR to CR+LF with StringReplace:
StringReplace, Clipboard, Clipboard, `r, `r`n, All

Thanks again, Chris. The help and understanding that you provide is greatly appreciated.

To rearrange the clipboard (for this case) so that the copy had the same CR+LR as the orginal, I used-

StringReplace, Clipboard, Clipboard,`n,`r`n, All (changed `r to `n)
