Two new macros are available at my site http://www.pinc.com/~slambert in the Macro Library.

Clipsaved.vdm :

Clipsaved uses Vedit's quiet mode, and it saves the contents of Windows Clipboard to a file called clipsaved.txt. The Idea here is you are surfing the web, and want to grab some info for later reference (say a postal address), you highlight the text and copy it to the clipboard and then call clipsaved which is setup as a windows shortcut, and then continue surfing. Each "clip" is seperated by a divider. See my site for more info.

Delhtml.vdm :

Inshtml.vdm inspired me to write delhtml.vdm which is a more advance version of html-txt.vdm which comes with Vedit. Delhtml will also get rid of any Javascript or VBScript, and any nbsp entries. It will also save the converted file with a .txt extension.

>Clipsaved.vdm :

Thank you for sharing some new macros. Clipsaved.vdm sounds very useful.
I constantly wish that Windows had multiple clipboards the way VEDIT
has multiple text registers. (I tried a Windows multi-clipboard add-on,
but without success.)

This is an incentive to add "clipboard viewer" code to VEDIT. Then every
time something is copied to the clipboard, VEDIT could automatically add
it to a buffer/file in the background.

I think automatically capturing windows clips in Vedit would be a great idea Ted.

Scott, how do you create the windows shortcut you mention. Is it the command
Command Line : c:\vedit\vpw.exe -q -x clipsaved.vdm
?

Okay here is detailed instructions for Win 95/98 :

1. Right click on the desktop
2. Select New and then Shortcut
3. For command line enter :

c:\vedit\vpw.exe -q -x clipsaved.vdm

4. click next
5. for name enter : Clipsaved
6. click finish

If you want change the icon.

Now move the shortcut somewhere you can get quick access to it when browsing.

I hope that helps.
