Insert tool output into file body.
Posted: Tue Sep 04, 2012 6:32 am
I would love to be able to:
• Select some text
• Run a tool passing selected as $Sel
• Have TextPad capture the output of the tool BUT
.... instead of populating the Command Results window, have the output of the tool written back over the selected text.
Has anyone found a good way to do this?
I guess I could get the tool to write to clipboard and then do a Ctrl-V, but a programmatic method would be really cool.
HMMMM..... I guess I could call the TOOL from a MACRO and then have the MACRO do the Ctrl-V.
Any thoughts?
