Hello everyone!
I'm looking for any way to pull excel data into a text template (.txt, .html, or any other) so I can copy it to the clipboard from there.

Example of the text template

Name: (to be pulled from excel)
Surname: (to be pulled from excel)
Address: (to be pulled from excel)

All the excel files contain data in the same cells. Example - "name" is always in B15. I need to compile the template from every excel file separately.

The way it should work would be - I specify the file using "browse" button and the info gets pulled into a template. The template is getting cleared after data is copied and another file to be specified.

Any help on this issue would be very much appreciated.

Have a glance at following link -
Excel to HTML table conversion and code generation utility[^]

Above link provides you information about reading an excel file.

Once that is done, you can simply copy that data into clipboard using -

JavaScript

// Method to set data in clipboard
window.clipboardData.setData("KeyName","my data goes here");
// Method to get data from clipboard
var contents = window.clipboardData.getData("KeyName");

Hope this works for you.

Many thanks.
