PeterPanettone 139 Posted August 4 (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 by PeterPanettone Share this post Link to post
Der schöne Günther 206 Posted August 4 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

limelect 41 Posted August 4 Will my free tool will help you? https://limelect.com/downloads/add-characters-to-text-lines-on-large-scale/ Share this post Link to post
PeterPanettone 139 Posted August 4 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 10 Posted August 5 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
