I had some difficulties to copy forum code from the ipad. This makes it simpler
'''Snippet to copy forum code easily 1/ copy the message adress in safari by pressing the underlined text '2 days ago' in the message title: xxxxx posted 2 days ago reply quote 0 2/ run this script 3/ if there was some formated code in the message, you get it in the cipboard ''' import requests, re, clipboard, console, os, bs4 # this for the tests #clipboard.set('https://forum.omz-software.com/topic/3594/displaying-valid-color-names-in-two-tables/1') try: src = clipboard.get() # post number to get the good one _,name = os.path.split(src) name = str(int(name)-1) # get html and interpret it r = requests.get(src) soup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(r.text) #get each post ls = soup.find_all('li',component="post") for li in ls: #find the good post a = li.find('a',component="post/anchor") if a['name']==name: # and strip its code code = li.find('code').getText() # communicate result if code: code = '# '+src + '\n\n' + code clipboard.set(code) console.hud_alert('Code in clipboard!','success',1) else: console.hud_alert('no code found!','error',1) except: console.hud_alert('clipboard does not contain a valid url!','error',1)
