How to get access to mixed clipboard content

[leuce]

Hello everyone

I'm copying text from a web site that includes inline images, and I need to be able to access the full clipboard (not just the unformatted text).

The program InsideClipboard displays a version of the clipboard that it calls "HTML format", which is what I need. One can also save a CLP file using InsideClipboard, and the CLP file (when opened in a text editor) contains the HTML version of the clipboard (along with other binary data).

The AutoHotKey command

FileAppend, %ClipboardAll%, foo.clip

creates the same file as InsideClipboard.

I tried using _ClipBoard_GetData in AutoIt, but none of the data formats that one can specify with it yields the HTML version of the clipboard.

Do you know of a function in AutoIt that produces the same result as

FileAppend, %ClipboardAll%, foo.clip

in AutoHotKey?

Thanks

Samuel

PS. The file created by AHK is attached.

foo.zip

Heres a link to a UDF for getting html from the clipboard link

Also, You can use this function to see what the types of formats your clipboard has:

_Clipboard_EnumFormats

Thanks, this worked. I had to convert the data to Unicode, however, using:

$foo = _ClipGetHTML ()
$sUnicodeHTML=BinaryToString($foo[0],4)
$bar = $sUnicodeHTML

Anytime Glad you figured it out.
