Hi,

I want to be able to extract the text of Hidden popup Topic files using Delphi. Can you please tell me how to do this.

Thanks,

Hi Ken,

In current versions of Help & Manual all the popup topics are contained in a single file called xxx_popup_html.js, where xxx is the project name. In Help & Manual 7 the file name is just hmpopup_html.js

The popup page content is stored as escaped HTML text defined as JavaScript/JSON string variables, which you can parse quite easily. However, you can't directly find out the name of the topic file they were generated from because they have a numeric ID instead of a topic ID.
