Buttons/Scripts
1

This script sets the quickfilter to the clipboard content after replacing various delimiters. It's based on the discussions here and here. The delimiters can be picked by out-commenting the unwanted ones.

function OnClick(clickData) {
    if (DOpus.GetClipFormat() != 'text') return;
    var cmd = clickData.func.command;
    cmd.deselect = false;

    var tmp = DOpus.GetClip();
    tmp = DOpus.FSUtil().NewWild().EscapeString(tmp); // Escape characters used in standard pattern matching

    // out-comment as needed
    tmp = tmp.replace(/;/g, '|');
    tmp = tmp.replace(/,/g, '|');
    tmp = tmp.replace(/ /g, '|');
    tmp = tmp.replace(/\r/g, '|'); // return
    tmp = tmp.replace(/\n/g, '|'); // line feed
    tmp = tmp.replace(/\t/g, '|'); // tab

    // here would be the place to insert additional replacements

    tmp = tmp.replace(/\|+/g, '|'); // clean up duplicate |
    tmp = tmp.replace(/^\||\|$/g, ''); // remove leading and trailing |

    var cmdLine = 'Set QUICKFILTER="(' + tmp + ')"';
    // DOpus.Output(cmdLine);
    cmd.RunCommand(cmdLine);
