To copy from the command window to the clipboard:
1. Scroll top of desired stuff to make it visible near top
2. Hold down Alt
3. Tap Space Bar
4. Release Alt
5. Tap e
6. Tap k
7. Use mouse or arrow keys to place cursor on top left corner of desired box
8. Hold down Shift
9. Use arrow keys or mouse-with-left-button-pressed to go to bottom right character of desired box
9a. If the bottom is out of sight, keep holding shift down and pretend you can cursor down below bottom.
the attempt should make the screen scroll up and select more desired material. If you overshoot, don't panic,
just keep holding down shift and use arrows (the are slower) or mouse-with-left-button-still-down to move to
desired bottom right corner.
10. Release mouse button if using that
11. Release Shift
12. Press Enter
That should copy to the clipboard and make the selection box revert to normal display.
Pasting from clipboard is up to you. Pasting into the command window from clipboard
is 2-5 above, and Tap p
Thanks for showing me another way. But Roel Schroeven's
"to copy from the command prompt window: open the system menu (icon in the top left corner of the window) and choose Edit->Mark. Then select what you want to copy and press Enter or choose Edit->Copy in the system menu."
seems to be easier.
PS. Redirecting with > from a script whose interpreter was started by windows extension association
doesn't work on some version of windows. To be safe, invoke the interpreter explicitly, e.g.,
python myscript.py [whatever args here] > pi3003.txt
Thanks very much for this.
What kind of args could I use here?
