Webpage Data to TSV

Copy data from a webpage to your clipboard so it's ready to be pasted into a spreadsheet.

For example, say there are a list of links on a page and you want to get the ID, link text, and href.

All we're doing is iterating through each item, constructing a series of tab-separated value rows and copying it to the clipboard.

Make sure each item is separated with a tab and each row is terminated with a newline.

var tsv = ''
document.querySelectorAll('.css-selector-to-grab-elements').forEach(function(item) {
    tsv += item.id + '\t' + item.innerText + '\t' + item.href + '\n'
})
copy(tsv)
