I am not sure if someone else has already suggested this - but I just tried this and it seems to work fine:
On Mouseup -- put the desired URL into U set the clipboarddata["html"] to URL U put the clipboarddata["text"] into A -- the plain text version will now be in A End Mouseup Sometimes I get weird things happening to my system when I mess around with the clipboarddata, so if you do it this way, look out for anything strange happening after the fact, like problems with copying and pasting or something similar. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Hurley Sent: Tuesday, April 12, 2005 8:14 PM To: [email protected] Subject: There's got to be a better way I have html text from a web site. (Thanks again to Dave Cragg for his nifty handler to extract text from a web site with forms.) It is awkward to parse in this form. I would like to be able to parse the text without the html code. So this is what I am using: set the htmltext of field 1 to tHTMLtextFromWebSite set the text of field 1 to field 1 put field 1 into tTextToParse It is hard to imagine anything more clumsy. It wastes a lot time putting things into and out of fields. There must be a better way of stripping out the html code. I understand that one cannot use variables for this.
