I try to set up a script for this function - but do not get any useful results.
Obviously my understanding of TextRange is not complete...
CopyToClipboard ("E:\\_DDDprojects\\FM+EN escript\\FM-11-testfiles\\BibFM-collected.rtf");
function CopyToClipboard (theText) {
// - create a textframe with a paragraph on the first masterpage (which always exist)
var masterPage, textFrame, pgf, textLoc, PT = 65536; var oTRange = new TextRange, oTexts; var doc = app.ActiveDoc; masterPage = doc.FirstMasterPageInDoc; // Get the first master page in the document. textFrame = doc.NewTextFrame (masterPage.PageFrame); // Add a temporary text frame to the master page. textFrame.Width = 480 * PT; pgf = textFrame.FirstPgf; textLoc = new TextLoc (pgf, 0); doc.AddText (textLoc, theText); // write the string into this paragraph oTexts = pgf.GetText (Constants.FTI_String); // select it oTLoc1.obj = pgf; oTLoc2.obj = pgf; for ( i = 0; i < oTexts.length; i++ ) { if (oTexts[i].dataType == Constants.FTI_String ) { oTLoc1.offset = oTexts[i].offset; oTLoc2.offset = oTexts[i].offset + oTexts[i].sdata.length; oTRange.beg = oTLoc1; oTRange.end = oTLoc2; oDoc.TextSelection = oTRange; } } doc.Copy (0); // copy selection to clipboard not interactive
alert ("something to see?"); textFrame.Delete (); // delete the text frame
}The text frame is placed either on the master page or the body page - depending on which i have switched to - strange.
The alert at the end shows that the text is placed, but my TextRange construct has no effect: the clipboard contains old stuff.
