AlanB Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 This Windows Help program sucks, but it's got the info I need if I can just find it on the huge page. The program doesn't have a Find function. I was wondering if AutoIt could do a find? Basically read the text on the page, look for a word, and then highlight that word. I'm guessing it's not really practical. But I'm hoping it's possible anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 When you say old helpfile, like how old? Can you context click on the text area to get a context menu to show up? If so, do you see a menu item that says "View Source"? The Vollatran project My blog: http://www.vollysinterestingshit.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
