I have a Webview, and I want to do something with the selected text. I tried: DOMRange *dr = [ webView selectedDOMRange ]; NSString *m = [ dr markupString ]; this contains the selected characters, but buried in lots of markup language. But I just want the characters.
NSString *s= [ dr stringRepresentation ]; just returns "Undefined". I could do [webView copy:nil ]; and then get the string from the general pasteboard, but I rather do not like to mess up the pasteboard - the user might have put something important there. So I tried: NSPasteboard *pasteboard = [ NSPasteboard pasteboardWithUniqueName ]; NSArray *types = [ NSArray arrayWithObject: NSPasteboardTypeString ]; [ webView writeSelectionWithPasteboardTypes: types toPasteboard: pasteboard ]; NSString *po = [ pasteboard stringForType: NSPasteboardTypeString ]; NSLog(@"%s selectedString \"%...@\"",__FUNCTION__,po); but the result is: selectedString "(null)" Adding [ pasteboard declareTypes: types owner: nil ] does not make any changes. So what am I doing wrong? How to get the selection as string form a WebView? Kind regards, Gerriet. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
