[Solved] use get_text() and include line breaks?

[Brian Garson]

I have 2 rad editors that I'm using to create emails.  The idea is to have one for HTML the other for Plain Text, I've created a custom toolbar button to fetch the data from the HTML editor and insert it into the Plain Text editor.  Is there a way to include the line breaks?

<script type="text/javascript">
//Get Html Content from HTML Editor to The Text Editor -  button on the text editor
Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.CommandList["GetHtmlContent"] = function(commandName, editor, args)
{
   var htmlEditor = $find("<%=HTMLEditor.ClientID%>"); //find the HTML editor

   editor.set_html(htmlEditor.get_text()); //set the new text in Text Editor
};
</script>

should I be trying to get_html() then converting it to text only somehow?

Thanks!

I tried this, but I can't seem to get the formatstripper to let me use: "AllExceptNewLines"

<script type="text/javascript">
//Get Html Content button on the text editor
Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.CommandList["GetHtmlContent"] = function(commandName, editor, args)
{
   var htmlEditor = $find("<%=HTMLEditor.ClientID%>"); //find the HTML editor
   if(confirm("Replace text content?")){
        editor.set_html(htmlEditor.get_html()); //replace all content in the Text Editor
        editor.fire("SelectAll");
        editor.fire("FormatStripper", {value : "ALL"}); //strips everything but new lines
   }
};
</script>

incase anyone is looking for a solution to this, I wrote my own javascript:

<script type="text/javascript">
//Get Html Content button on the text editor
Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.CommandList["GetHtmlContent"] = function(commandName, editor, args)
{
   var htmlEditor = $find("<%=HTMLEditor.ClientID%>"); //find the HTML editor
   if(confirm("Replace text content?")){
        editor.set_html('');
        var content = htmlEditor.get_html();
        content = content.replace(/<BR>/ig,"#lbr#"); //find all line breaks, replace them temporarily with #lbr#
        content = content.replace(/(<([^>]+)>)/ig,""); //search and replace all HTML codes with empty
        content = content.replace(/#lbr#/g,"<BR>");  //put all line breaks back in
        editor.pasteHtml(content); //replace all content in the Text Editor
        }
};
</script>

Hi Brian,

There is an easier way to strip everything but new lines and it is to pass the following value

ALL_NO_BRAKES to the FormatStripper tool, e.g.

editor.fire("FormatStripper", {value : "ALL_NO_BRAKES"});

Kind regards,
