Copying from the Command Prompt isn't as easy as copying from other programs, which is part of the reason why saving a command's output to a file, which you learned about a few tricks back, is so handy.
However, what if you do just want to copy a short section of text to the clipboard? It's not too hard but it's not very intuitive either:
- Right-click anywhere in the Command Prompt window and choose Mark.
- Highlight with your left mouse button whatever you'd like to copy.
- Press Enter or right-click once.
Now you can paste that information into whatever program you'd like, just like you paste other text.
If you chose Mark but then decided you don't want to copy anything, right-click again to cancel the Mark action, or press the Esc key.
Tip:If you chose Mark but then decided you don't want to copy anything, right-click again to cancel the Mark action, or press the-Esc-key.
