This should work with any Vanhegan puzzle.

Select the HTML version of the puzzle and then scan the HTML source, you'll find a line like this near the end:

Quote:

saveState( "clues", "-6---9----9524--86--85-691-8-9---62--3-----9--41---7-5-871-52--45--2816----9---5-" );

nataraj should be able to update his formatter so you can copy & paste the clues.

the easiest way I know how to export the Vangegan puzzles is via Sudocue
sudocue finds the current daily puzzles posted on vangegan's site

and you can access them from sudocue's "file" menu
- OPEN WWW
-playr.co.uk
- then pick your difficulty level.

hopefully that was helpful.

Wow, I didn't know this before... Thank you very much!

That is a very simple and useful way to get at the data of those Vanhegans. Good idea, thanks, Danny!

I updated my program at nataraj.0catch.com - it should accept that source line now.
