PeterPanettone 157 Posted August 4, 2022 (edited) I have a very long HTML code text in the clipboard (<HTML>...</HTML>) without line-ends which I want to convert into a string constant in the Editor. If I use any of the GExperts string converters, I get the Compiler error message "Line too long". So how can I convert-split this very long clipboard string into concatenated strings of fixed maximal length suitable for a string constant, e.g.: const MyHTML = '<HTML> ...' + '...' + '...' + ... '...</HTML>'; Edited August 4, 2022 by PeterPanettone Share this post Link to post
Der schöne Günther 316 Posted August 4, 2022 This is exactly what the MultiPaste tool is for. You can find it in Delphi at Edit -> MultiPaste. Using the MultiPaste Tool - RAD Studio (embarcadero.com) (I think the picture they posted is incorrect, as it is not realated to MultiPaste at all) Share this post Link to post

PeterPanettone 157 Posted August 4, 2022 Thanks for all the answers. I was hoping that an existing addon like GExperts or MMX would provide that feature. As it is very easy to write such a tool (and I am not a night worker), I will do it tomorrow. Share this post Link to post

DiGi 14 Posted August 5, 2022 I just wonder how do you get that text in your clipboard in the first place. Copy from another application (not from file on disk / http URL)? Share this post Link to post

Another alternative might be to use a text editor that can format your HTML and add quotes (possibly with the help of regex) Notepad++ https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/ CudaText https://cudatext.github.io TextEditorPro https://texteditor.pro SublimeText https://www.sublimetext.com Share this post Link to post
