My copy & paste works well for Nattables. Problem comes, if some cell contains line separator. When I paste data, line separator is taken as a row separator and structure of my table is destructed.
In CopyDataToClipboardCommand.class:
public CopyDataToClipboardCommand(String cellDelimeter,
String rowDelimeter, IConfigRegistry configRegistry) {
this.cellDelimeter = cellDelimeter;
this.rowDelimeter = rowDelimeter;
this.configRegistry = configRegistry;
}
cellDelimeter is set to \t and rowDelimeter is set to \r\n.
Inside problematic cells is new line set with \n. Any idea about this?
If you talk about pasting to Excel for example, then the issue is not in NatTable, it is in Excel. Excel treats a new line character as a row delimiter. The configuration in CopyDataToClipboardCommand is used to add that character for ADDING a new row.
If you want to be able to copy cell content that contains new line characters and paste it in Excel, you probably need to override CopyDataCommandHandler#internalDoCommand() and use a custom serializer that replaces the new line characters in the cell to something Excel can handle. Actually I don't know what character is treated as a line separater inside a cell in Excel. I probably would replace it with a simple space then.
