Find Source of active window

[jeffblack]

Hi

I'm trying to find a way to get the source code from the active web browser window I know I can get it using 

ConsoleWrite(_INetGetSource('http://www.autoitscript.com'))

but I don't want to have to enter a url. just want to open the window and press my hotkey

Is this possible if so would someone please point me in the right direction

Which browser are you using?  Here's a primitive/quick example that works on my machine with IE11 (tested with only 1 window open)

#include <Inet.au3>
$sURL = ControlGetText("[CLASS:IEFrame]","","Edit1")
If Not $sURL Then Exit
ConsoleWrite(_INetGetSource($sURL))

This works for Firefox but could be adapted for any browser

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", -2)
$hWnd = WinActivate("firefox")
ControlSend($hWnd, "", "", "^{F6}^c")  
Msgbox(0,"", ClipGet())

I have a freeware written in AutoIt3 designed to make it a bit easier to snap up source code from selected text on a browser page.  I call it SourceSnap

 

Mainly the idea is to save source to a filename, or for small selections, add the selection to a snp file.  It is very simple.  Just meant to make things a bit easier than free handing it.

Like all freeware on my page it is free for you to use at your own risk.  Don't get paranoid if VirusTotal shows a few red flags.  I regularly download everything on my page using DownLoadThemAll and compare the md5 sums with the zip files I have stored locally.
