Delphi, Export HTML Table To Excel

All I want to do is to implement 'Export to excel' option of a classical webbrowser, to Delphi2007 commands...... When I am using this option from a webbrowser to export a 12000 ro

Solution 1:

I found the solution...HTML Table Parsing in Less than a second!

function HTMLCleanUp(L : string) : string;
var
P1,P2 : integer;
begin
P1 := Pos('<',L); //clean-up anything between <>
while (P1>0) do    //WHILE1
begin
P2 := Pos('>',L);
if (P2>0)
then Begin Delete(L,P1,P2-P1+1); end;
P1 := Pos('<',L);
end;               //WHILE1
L:=StringReplace(L,'&nbsp;','-',[rfReplaceAll]);
Result := Trim(L);
end;

 procedure TForm11.WB_SaveAs_HTML(WB : TWebBrowser; const FileName : string) ;
 var
   PersistStream: IPersistStreamInit;
   Stream: IStream;
   FileStream: TFileStream;
 begin
   if not Assigned(WB.Document) then
   begin
     ShowMessage('Document not loaded!') ;
     Exit;
   end;

   PersistStream := WB.Document as IPersistStreamInit;
   FileStream := TFileStream.Create(FileName, fmCreate) ;
   try
     Stream := TStreamAdapter.Create(FileStream, soReference) as IStream;
     if Failed(PersistStream.Save(Stream, True)) then ShowMessage('SaveAs HTML fail!') ;
   finally
     FileStream.Free;
   end;
 end; (* WB_SaveAs_HTML *)

procedure TForm11.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
const
xlExcel7 = $00000027;
TmpFileName='c:\test\xxxx.txt';
CRLF = #13#10;
CSVTempSeparator = #9;   //#255; //replaced by a comma
