Summary: Plain text copy from HyperSearch results

Initial Comment:
HyperSearch results used to get copied as plaint text some version before 4.3pre17. I used this for further processing. Now, it seems, that html is copied such that further processing of the results is interfered.

Message:
Oh, already a patch... the bug would be rendered pointless only if the
context menu of the HyperSearch results window would contain a plain text
menu item. Could this bug be linked to the patch. In that case, we could
close it anyway. We also could close it, if somebody said, this is not of
interest much more as there are those macros. Again, I think I can cope
with the macros well. If not, I would feel free to open an issue (or
re-open this one).

I actually do not see the point in exporting to hmtl format (ctrl+a,
ctrl+c) because I do not feel one could find a better form to display than
the dockable does. However, if the ctrl+a, ctrl+c export would be in plain
text right away, this bug certainly would be solved.

Oh, ok... :)
First, about the macro "Buffer to hypersearch results": Sometimes get lots
of results in the hypersearch results dockable, and would like to apply
some filtering (e.g. you are not interested in some of the files, or you
are only interested in a result that contains some other string in
addition). I did not find a good way to allow filtering the hypersearch
results from the dockable itself, so you can do this in 3 steps: Export the
results to a buffer, then do the filtering on the buffer, and then import
the results back to the dockable.

Now for the issue itself: The hypersearch results were enhanced to allow
highlighting of the matched patterns. For this to work, the results are
rendered using html, and this is the cause of what you are seeing.
I recall that a short time ago someone wrote a patch which adds a context
menu item for copying the results (more or less like what you ask), when
this patch is committed you will have what you requested.

No, I mean if the HyperSearch results window is the active window, pressing
ctrl+a and ctrl+c and then paste what ever is in the clipboard to wherever
you want.

I did not know about the macros. But they seem to be cool but I do not
quite get the need for buffer to dockable unless for the beauty of display.
I probably just can use them.

Message:
I guess you are referring to the macro "Hypersearch results to buffer".
This macro used to export the hypersearch results in some format
(file:line: string). I changed the format just a bit in order to be able to
import it back into the Hypersearch results dockable (the reverse macro
"Buffer to hypersearch results") - which is very useful if you want to do
some filtering on the results and then get it back in the dockable.
Without this small change in format, it is impossible to have a reverse
macro, since the dockable does more than just display the results.

The small change should not interfere with further processing of the
results. Simply ignore lines that begin with '*'. The rest of the output is
the same.

Is this okay?
