Clipboard to HTML ?

[Suppir]

Hello!

I have some text copyed from MS Word in clipboard. Is the any way to get HTML file from this text? (maybe some UDF exists?)

[Ascend4nt]

Since Word seems to add HTML to its Clipboard output formats, maybe _ClipGetHTML might help out?

Ascend4nt, wow! That is realy good, thanks!

This example is working on my XP and using MS Word 2002.

To use this script, either pre-copy, or, highlight the data to be put into the htm file before you press the "F2" key.

expandcollapse popup

#include <Word.au3>

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")
HotKeySet("{F2}", "ClipBrdToHtm") ; Press F2

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2) ;1=start, 2=subStr, 3=exact, 4=advanced, -1 to -4=Nocase

While 1
    Sleep(20)
WEnd

; Highlight part or all of a Word Doc file from within MS Word; or
; Have the clipboard pre-copied with nothing highlighted; or
; Use SciTE instead of MS Word.
; Then, press the F2 key when this script is running.
; The text with format, image and/or table that was copied will be put into "Temp.htm" file.
Func ClipBrdToHtm()
    Send("^c") ; Copy highlighted text
    If ClipGet() <> "" Then
        Local $sFileName = @ScriptDir & "\Temp.htm"

        $oWordApp = _WordCreate()
        $oDoc = _WordDocGetCollection($oWordApp, 0)
        _WordDocSaveAs($oDoc, $sFileName, 10) ; Doc file saved in filtered HTML format.

        WinActivate("Temp.htm")
        WinWaitActive("Temp.htm")
        Send("^v") ; Paste
        _WordDocSave($oDoc)
        ;_WordQuit($oWordApp) ; Uncomment for personal preference - use or not?

        ; For demonstrational purposes only.
        ShellExecute($sFileName) ; Will open file with application associated with file extension (.htm)
        Sleep(2000)
        FileDelete($sFileName); Clean up file for this example.
    EndIf
EndFunc ;==>ClipBrbToHtm

Func Terminate()
    Exit 0
EndFunc ;==>Terminate

That is nice too!

Is it possible to do some replaces in clipboard before generating HTML?

Replaces with regular expressions.

[Malkey]

Something like this.

ClipPut(StringRegExpReplace(ClipGet(), "[^[:lower:]]", ""))
; or
ClipPut(StringReplace(ClipGet(), "this", "THIS"))

[Suppir]

Something like this.

ClipPut(StringRegExpReplace(ClipGet(), "[^[:lower:]]", ""))
; or
ClipPut(StringReplace(ClipGet(), "this", "THIS"))

no-no-no. Clipboard consists of data, that we copyed from MS Word. It is not raw(plain) text, but formatted text with tables, styles, etc.

And I have to do replaces with regular expressions in this text (because MS Word does not support RCRE).

If we just do what you've written, all tables and styles will dissapper.

If _ClipGetHtml() returns an array, you can do all the StringRegExpReplace/StringReplace's you want.

For example:

$aHTML=_ClipGetHTML()
If @error Then Exit
$sHTML=StringRegExpReplace($aHTML[0],"replace(this)","that")
FileWrite(@DesktopDir&"\test.html",$sHTML)
