How could I select all words in a widget on a website simultaneously? For example, I'd like to select all words in the widget called "Skills" on the following website:

https://opportunities.aiesec.org/search?type=1

The goal is copy in a word file the words: 3D MAX, ABAP etcetera that appear in the "Skills" box with a single operation.

Thank you for your help.

  • Given that the popdown is built on the fly by the website I doubt whether it is easy to do ...

  • Under Firefox, use contextual menu on the widget, choose "inspect element".
  • In the console use contextual menu on the code of the div, choose "edit as HTML".
  • Select all (ctrl+a) and copy (ctrl+c).
  • Open a text editor supporting regular expression (I use jedit).
  • In a new file, paste (ctrl+v).
  • Remove HTML tags (replace "<[^>]+>" by "").
  • Remove empty lines (replace "^$\n" by "").

Here is the result.

  • Hi @Setop, I went to console, but I don't see any code of div. Where is it? Could you post an image please? Apr 30, 2017 at 14:38

  • Hi @Setop, the only command which does not work correctly is replace "^$\n" by "". In jedit, the statement delete only some empty lines. Apr 30, 2017 at 16:24
  • I solved the problem with ^\s*$\n. Thank you anyway @Setop. Apr 30, 2017 at 16:33
  • I missed a step in jedit, after paste : select all and pres shit+tab until all white spaces on the left are removed.
