Copy Data() leaves extra rows

JMPpingAround

I am trying to copy all of the contents from a table box to my clipboard to enter the data into an application using scripting.

In the scripting index, I see the following, which does mostly what I need, but when pasting to excel there are an additional 3 rows at the beginning and 1 row at the end.

New Window( "x", mat = Matrix Box( [1 2 3, 4 5 6, 7 8 9] ) );
mat << CopyData

Anyone know any other ways to create a copy button the extract numeric data from a table box tab delimited?

If you write a little script that takes the elements of the text box you want and place the contents into a character string,

you can copy it and paste it without issue

myText = "Level\!tNumber\!tMean\!tStd Dev\!nF\!t18\!t60.888889\!t3.6118903\!n";
myText = myText || "M\!t22\!t63.909091\!t4.3084534\!0";

set Clipboard(myText);

results in the output below when pasted into Excel
