Parse enter on clipboard data

Question

Can anybody tell me how to find if clipboard data contains enter (next line) and tab or not

I have code for paste event as:

document.addEventListener('paste',function(event){
    if(event.clipboardData.types.indexOf('text/plain') > -1){
        var data=event.clipboardData.getData('text/plain');
        event.preventDefault();
    }
 });

I want to print a alert if data contains tab or enter (nextline).

Answer 1

var data = "merry christmas\n"

if(/\n|\t/.test(data)) alert("contains tab or new line")

wich would be like that in your code:

document.addEventListener('paste',function(event){
    if(event.clipboardData.types.indexOf('text/plain') > -1){
        var data=event.clipboardData.getData('text/plain');
        if(/\n|\t/.test(data)) {
            // contains tab or new line
        }
        event.preventDefault();
    }
 });
