hi, I wanted to make a text editor that recognized hyper links. So I used 'TextEdit'. To extract the plain text I tried to use SelectAll + Copy + Paste like this:
PUBLIC SUB Form_Open() DIM txt AS String PRINT "“abc”" TextEdit1.Text = "“abc”" TextEdit1.SelectAll() TextEdit1.Copy() txt = Clipboard.Paste() PRINT txt END “abc” ?abc? but noticed that while it handles some special characters (like 'ö') other gets lost (and replaced by '?'). Above example uses 'Left & Right double quotation mark's which are lost and replaced by '?' (code 63). So it seems the only option is to parse the 'TextEdit1.Text' buffer or some special characters are lost. By trial and error I've noted that if I set 'TextEdit.ReadOnly=true' it will remove all hypertext tags. Except when it doesn't. I don't know how to predict when the 'TextEdit1.Text' buffer will contain hypertext tags and when it will not. Is there a way to remove the hypertext links that always works ? Or make it predictable (which amounts to the same thing). * Can the latest stable version (2.16.0) coexist with my current straight from 'Debian lenny' repository 2.7 ? I.e. can I have both installed ? Gambas 2.7 on Debian Lenny. regards, -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/TextEdit-copy-Paste-and-removal-of-hyper-tags-tp25666934p25666934.html Sent from the gambas-user mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
