How can I copy and paste text on the ios platform?

@hippo,

For just simple strings its:

[UIPasteboard generalPasteboard].string = @"the text to copy";
NSString *whatsOnThePasteboard = [UIPasteboard generalPasteboard].string;

Thank you prime. Is there an easy way to get/set this inside unity?

@hippocoder, nope. it requires a plugin.

Thanks prime, doing it now. Might be a quick addition to ECT2 in the future.

@hippo, I think you are the only one on earth who wants copy/paste in a game :wink:

:smile: not quite! http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/118983-Copy-Paste wants it as well! But I’ll just share my findings with him.

btw it was completely successful - and live on appstore now - physynth with copy and paste :slight_smile: even more exciting, users have begun to share the copy and paste saved text data online ( SoundCloud - Hear the world’s sounds )

hehe… makes me giggle even though Physynth sells like poo. I dunno maybe apple will decide to feature it at some point.

There are less than 2 on earth!
