Get Clipboard HTML data

[czmaster]

Hello,

If I copy a link on a web page (i.e. : autoit) the ClipGet function return the text of this link (autoit) bur not the url (http://www.autoitscript.com/forum).

Is it a way to get this link ?

MS Word do it, when you paste a link from a web page, it show it as a link (autoit and not autoit as text).

Thank you

I didnt see anything in the Autoit Functions list for this so I will propose something.

Firefox:

You could have autoit open the link in a new window.

Send CTRL + L to highlight the address bars URL

Send CTRL + C to copy

Then Close the new window (ALT + F and the 'X')

I guess it depends on how you get it. If I right-click on that link, my browser (Firefox) will give me the option to 'Copy Link Location'. Then ClipGet() will have the anchor data instead of the text data.

I don't want to copy the adress bar link but a link in the web page

@somdcomputerguy

I know the option to 'Copy Link Location' and I use it often, but this time I want to get the link location of many links with just one copy,

Thanks anyway.

It is probably impossible with autoit. I will copy the source code and get the links with the string functions

This function, _IELinkGetCollection, may prove useful to you.
