The script prints into the Windows command line

Whats the problem copying from a command prompt?
1. Click on the little black icon in the upper left corner.
2. Select Edit.
3. Select Mark
4. Select text to copy
5. Hit Enter
5 steps!
Just grab with the mouse and it's selected automatically
(assuming you have QuickEdit mode turned on in the
preferences obviously!)
Big assumption! I've been doing the above 5-step dance for years
because I didn't know about QuickEdit. Thanks, Alan.
How about pasting INTO the command prompt. Ctrl+V doesn't work, even
with QuickEdit..
I copy/paste from a DOS box
into my mail messages regularly.
Now, the script writes into temp.txt, so I thought if
I could also have Textpad open temp.txt, I could copy easily.
You could. But why do you need to copy it at all?
Couldn't you get Python to do what you want with the
data directly rather than writing to a file then manually
copying it?
Looking at the script now, I think I could.
But I don't know how to have a script get Textpad
to open a file. Please tell me.
If TextPad is your default txt editor just use
os.system("foo.txt") or if not use os.system("Path/to/textpad.exe foo.txt")
Thanks for this.
Or if you want to be politically correct use the subprocess module
to do the same thing.
Nah. Or I don't think I do. Why is it the correct way? Is there a
problem with yours?
Dick
