QUESTION:
Does the Richtext class provide the ability to get just the text (without the formatting tags) ?
ANSWER:
Yes. You can do that by using the TextRange message -- that returns text in given position range.
Example:
Procedure OnClick
string sTmp
Get TextRange of oRichEdit1 0 9999999 to sTmp
Showln sTmp
End_Procedure // OnClick
TextRange returns the first 9,999,999 characters of plain text displayed in the oRichEdit1 control.
You can also use CharCount to get the maximum characters instead of specifying the range. Yes, this will return the characters including the RTF stream, but since this is always higher than the plain text, it will be safe.
Example:
Procedure GetPlainText
string sText
integer iChars
Get CharCount of oRichEdit1 to iChars
Get TextRange of oRichEdit1 0 iChars to sText
End_Procedure // GetPlainText
