I'm building a Max5-based standalone for both Mac and Windows. In 

addition to allowing my users to be able to save the contents of a 

pattrstorage to file, I'd like to be able to have them copy its 

contents to the clipboard. Ideas on how I might go about this?

You could dump the contents to a coll? open the coll window and you can
copy, edit and paste.

Thanks Barry - I definitely thought about using Java (or Javascript 

too), but then I ran into a stumbling block; I should have been more 

explicit in my original posting, but I want to store *the XML* format 

of the data in the pattrstorage to the clipboard -- basically what 

I'm trying to do is to pass the same contents that would be stored in 

a "write" operation to a file, but instead to redirect the output to 

Using a "dump" operation on the pattrstorage doesn't get the data in 

the XML format - and I do *not* look forward to converting it back to 

I think I might need to appeal to Jeremy B for a feature request...

I am, but trying my very best to ignore this thread. :)

This is not on my to-do list at the moment, and probably will never be a feature (unless you can demonstrate to me how all of the other data management objects in Max -- table, coll, qlist, etc. -- provide copy to clipboard functionality).

Why don't you write the file and then read it back with Java or JS or something and get the data that way?

Hey, now that's a nice idea to try, hadn't thought of that! OK, for 

now at least, you can remove the request from your to-do list! ;-)

They don't - but pattrstorage is way better than all those other 
lowly objects.  ;-)
