Title: Cut and paste from user tool window?
Post by: Randy Williams on 2010-04-30 03:48 pm
Is there a way to cut and paste the output of a user tool (e.g. Statistics)?  I can select the text in the window, but I don't seem to be able to cut it into the clipboard.  I have my own scripts that run outside of NWC getting input from an NWCTXT file, and I can redirect the output into a file, but I was hoping to quickly grab an existing user tool's output.

You can select and copy. NWC won't allow changes to the contents of the window that it shows to the user, so cut, paste and delete are disabled.

I'm sorry, but I still don't get it.  I can select, but how do I copy?

Well I'm an idiot.  I'm so used to using Cut/Paste only from a menu obtained by right-clicking, that I forgot all about trying a keyboard shortcut.  I wonder why NWC can't bring up the right-click menu for that window?  Anyway, thanks a bunch - it helps me a lot.
