Answer 1

Here is a macro snippet to select all the text in the editor (after filtered), and copy the selection to the Clipboard, followed by your code. You will run this macro after you filter a document.

document.selection.SelectAll();  // Select All
document.selection.Copy(eeCopyUnicode);  // Copy the selection to the Clipboard
WshShell = new ActiveXObject( "WScript.Shell" );  // your macro
WshShell.Run ( "PotPlayerMini64.exe /clipboard" );

If you want to include filter in your macro, you can use this:

strFilter = prompt( "Filter:", "" );  // Prompt for a string
document.Filter( strFilter, 0, 0 );  // Filter (case-insensitive)
document.selection.SelectAll();  // Select All
document.selection.Copy(eeCopyUnicode);  // Copy the selection to the Clipboard
WshShell = new ActiveXObject( "WScript.Shell" );  // your macro
WshShell.Run ( "PotPlayerMini64.exe /clipboard" );
