Title: OS 9: Automatic capture of text in a
window
Hi,
I've been told that
there used to be an AppleScript extension (under OS 9) which can be
used to intercept all the text that is sent to a window of an
application (inclusive of font information) and store it in a log
file. Has anybody heard of this?
I would like to
extract a large number of text pages produced by an OS 9 program and
all other methods have so far failed. (Yes, there is a "save"
command - but it doesn't save the contents in the same format as it is
displayed on screen and it's absolutely necessary for what I need to
do that the font/colour information is preserved.)
Any pointers would
be greatly appreciated!
Sebastian
