I’m trying to manipulate the below code somehow so that when you click **btn\_1** the letter \*\*\*A \*\*\*is copied onto the clipboard and **btn\_2** letter **B** etc. Does anyone know how I could make a bit easier instead of writing out this code to 20-odd times?

```auto

this.createTextField(&quot;in_txt&quot;, this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10, 160, 120);
in_txt.multiline = true;
in_txt.border = true;
in_txt.text = &quot;lorum ipsum...&quot;;
this.createTextField(&quot;out_txt&quot;, this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 140, 160, 120);
out_txt.multiline = true;
out_txt.border = true;
out_txt.type = &quot;input&quot;;

copy_btn.onRelease = function() {
   System.setClipboard(in_txt.text);
   Selection.setFocus(&quot;out_txt&quot;);
};

```

Any clue how I can do that?
