Using variables

I like this version for Find longest line, but I tried to use the macro for uploading posts to this forum and expected it to post here. Instead, it had me post a new topic which seems to contradict the macro notes. It also disabled the Find longest line macro

Anyway, regarding this Find longest line macro, I think I understand everything except the penultimate action to Set system clipboard to %Variable%Variable Name% -- I don't understand what that's for. I noticed that if I disabled it, the macro worked fine.
