I have most of a shortcut together, but I can't figure out how to insert a character in the middle of copied text. I need to quickly generate a URL from a copied bit of text.
For example, I have a field with a name. We'll use John Smith. I copy that name and add the first part of the URL by inserting text. I need the copied text (John Smith) to have a hyphen between first and last name (John-Smith) when I paste it into the last part of the URL.
Assuming that your text “John Smith” is on the clipboard and you want it to be “John-Smith” when you paste it, you’d probably be best off using “Search and Replace”.
For the “Search for” string you would enter a space, and for the “replace with” string you’d enter a dash.
(Presumably if you had a name like “Mary Tyler Moore” you’d want it to be “Mary-Tyler-Moore”.)
Let us know if you have more questions or run into any snags. We’re a fairly friendly group here
