How do you copy the text from PRINT statements ?
« Thread started on: Apr 1st, 2016, 09:05am »
Hello, there. Whilst I am not exactly a computer guru I have been programming in BBC BASIC since about 1983 ! About 3 or 4 years ago I was forced to use Windows more and more and, although I have VirtualAcorn, it seemed useful if there were a BASIC available on Windows. Hence my discovery of BB4W.
Now for my problem. I am writing a program to do with home electricity generation from PV v. electricity consumption. The whole input and output is in the form of text and numbers. But I have not found a way to copy the output of PRINT statements to a text file. I could do it in RISCOS, but really want to solve this problem. 1. In the BB4W window, with a program listing, I click on Run. 2. Another (untitled) window with filetype icon opens with the output of the PRINT statements. 3. But this (untitled) window seems to be "inert". I cannot select and copy the displayed text, and clicking on the filetype icon shows nothing like "Save".
Please, has anyone a solution ? I am sure that there is one, because it seems to be such an obvious need.
