Run app, Select All, Copy into clipboard, and exit/or go back to the calling app

Post by AHKExplorer » 28 Jul 2020, 19:57

Hi,

I'd like to copy and paste all the text (not the html) from a dynamic website, in Chrome. But the techniques I'd like to use, would apply to any app, whether desktop or browser.

I would call the AutoHotkey script, either from a shell or DLL call from another app, and then use the contents of the clipboard in that original app.

What's the best way to go about this?

Please note, that I don't want to create an InternetExplorer.Application object. Just a basic text Select All, and I can deal with the clunkiness of parsing out some of the clipboard text.


Thanks,
