    Hi

    Seems there is a problem if I select a number of hosts from Excel and paste it into BP. Trying to search for operating system – RPC server is not available.

    If I copy and paste 1 host from Excel it´s ok. When I select two or more (I get the frames from Excel in the “add hosts” option) but it looks ok in the grids. It looks like the information contains some extra Excel information.

    If I stage the host-list in Notepad first, then add them into BP it´s OK.

    Regards

    Mats

    Mats – We are aware of this issue. It will be fixed in the next version. The issue is that when you copy/paste directly from Excel, each cell adds a hidden t (tab char). BatchPatch used to auto-remove the t until the most recent version when we made a slight change to the parsing, but forgot to deal with the t from Excel, not realizing that users were so frequently copying directly from Excel. The next version will remove the t once again.
