How to copy from a MS-DOS console
Still working with MS-DOS console and couldn’t find yet a way for copying data from DOS / console mode program screens into a text document?
Here’s the solution:
-right click into the MS-DOS console / select all / press ENTER and paste with CTRL+V into the new text document.
Don’t try to copy the console content using CRTL+C. It’s not working!

This copies all the text in the DOS box — if you want just to select just some specific line, then try this:
right-click into the DOS box, click \”Mark\”, click your mouse from the upper left to the lower right of the text you want to copy. Then press \”Enter\” You\’ve now copied just that text into Window\’s paste buffer, so you can paste away!
Thank you Charles! Good hint :)
Or by default: Run the DOS, right click on the top and select “Properties”. Go to the “Option” tab, and check the box called “Quick edition mode”. Then press OK.
Owen, good tip also :)
