Get text out of innerHTML displayed in a QWebEngineView

bask185

I have spend many many hours today on reading qt docs trying to get the active text out of a html which is displayed in a QWebEngineView.

I have had partial succes with the function: ''selectedText()". The problem was that I have to select the content I need with the mouse. And this simply does not work for my target-device.

I have been reading this Qdoc but I am not seeing any function I can use. If I would have a 'selectAllText' function I would be done.

How do I get all text or part of texts out of the active html?

To be clear I am using

QWebEngineView *engine;

and it loads an html

engine->load(QUrl("qrc:/resources/img/frmSSPeditor.html"));
engine->show();

I need to get the intel out of the right column. It holds commands with parameters for a machine

If I just have a way with which I can get all text in a QString somehow, I'd would a very very happy man.
