Hi Paul,
Would you mind downloading the web page to do it?
I am sure Chip showed you how to do it using the tag format, which gets all
text data from specific tags.
My Breaking News app also downloads the page and strips out all tag data,
some not in the order you would like in respect to the link that goes to the
text.
There is a command to download the web page entirely, the rest is knowing
the web page structure. Some what simple, except links and table data...along
with lists and such.
I guess it depends on what you want your app to do with the string of data.

Subject: Finding a String on a Web Page and Moving the Mouse Pointer There
Hi Aaron,
I'll take a look at Virtual View. I want to move focus to the string on a
web page. That is my reason for finding it. This is a simple script function
call in Jaws. Are you considering building such functionality into the W E
object model in the future?

Hi, Paul.
To do this in IE9 and up, you’ll need to find the text using UIA. There’s
not a script interface to UIA, so you’d need to write an external app. This is
what we did with VirtualView. If you bring up Virtual View over an IE9 and up
window, you’ll get text.
Thanks,
Aaron

Finding strings on web pages.
I talked about this off line with Chip Orange but Marc Solomon requested I
query the community.
I wrote a script that finds a string on the screen and moves the mouse
pointer to it.
This is something that the Jaws Findstring() script function does. Also
Window-Eyes and Jaws does this with their search dialog.
I use clips and clip methods to do this.
This works fine in MS Word and Notepad. It does not work on a Web page. I
use I E 11 and W E 8.4.
Is there a W E object model solution for this regarding Web pages? Am I
missing something? Will it work in W E 9.0 ?
